Hi Chris, and all, One of the problems you face right off the bat, with using a standard PC RS-232 serial port, is that it can't directly produce 8-bit synchronous data - it will add in start and stop bits. That's one of the reasons KISS was developed. Another device, the YAM modem, required u

Thanks to Dave G0CER and Curt WE7U for your replies. Dave, re using packet radio on 160m. I'll check the regulations. Local amateurs did a trial run around the West Pennine hills last year to prove the idea. If not we could also use 30m. Tests locally show reliable ground wave coverage out to 1

Not sure how legal it is, but I use N1ICS-W1 and N1ICS-W2 for the VHF and UHF Telpacs I run. On another note, our local club is building a weathernet on 145.050. What's the process when you exceed 15 stations? Right now they're W8FY-1 to W8FY-11 but they will soon go past 15 when we deploy the n
