[digitalradio] More HF Packet Mailbox Info
All, Connected to Jim, K9VSO today and noticed he posted instructions on how to use his HF Packet station on Network 105 (14105.0 LSB 1700Hz center frequency) see below. I've been using both Mixw and Multipsk and they both work quite well on 300 baud Packet... MIXW: Click on MODE / PACKET / MODE SETTINGS. Click GENERAL TAB and enter your call in MYCALLS box. Click MODEM tab and chose HF 300 BAUD - click OK. To connect to a station, click MODE / CONNECT and enter the call sign of the station in the REMOTE box then click connect. MULTIPSK: In the main window, click PACKET+APRS. Make sure the following buttons are clicked: UNPROTO / 300 BAUD / FSK. Enter the call sign of the station you wish to connect to in the DESTINATION box and your call under SENDER. Click CONNECT. Network 105 uses lower side-band on 14105.0 KHz The mark and space tones are 1600Hz and 1800Hz so use 1700Hz center with Mixw / Multipsk. There are several stations using internal TNC Mailboxes': W0TX-1, WA6RZW-1, KC6OAR-1 to name a few. Many use unproto mode for chatting. The mailbox stations beacon often so it's a good idea to monitor traffic for a few minutes to see which ones are coming through. The frequency is shared so response can be slow if there's a lot of traffic.
