Around our club, we were kicking around the idea of Most all of it is LINK Activity...and little interest by many users... -> putting up a small BBS or something, just to get our hands into -> the packet arena. The idea kept evolving until we found ourselves -> talking about putting up a full blown repeater for digital use (we -> already have voice repeaters.) We think we can scrounge up the -> necessary radio equipment, and are continuing thinking along these -> lines. -> -> So, with setting up a repeater as the goal, what do we need to do -> to make a deluxe installation? I see operation at 9600 baud as -> a possibility, even though I (nor nobody I know) does 9600 at -> the present time. We would probably be setting a precedent for -> the area on 440, and thus should do the job well. There is a 440 Mhz 9600 baud bit-regen in Tuc. There are 2 420 regens used for linking at 9600 baud and 2 1200 baud regen's in the valley on 440mhz. 1 is for linking only, the other for members of a local club. -> -> There appears to be a bit-regenerator kit from TAPR, but I am not -> networked well with that organization yet (new member.) Is this -> the way to go, or is there some other option to consider? Anyway, The TAPR Bit-regen is for 9600 baud only...If you want to run 1200 baud you will need something on the lines of an old BELL-202 modem tied in loopback mode...Very easy to set up and works great... -> fire away, and we'll see what we can come up with. -> -> -dave -> 73 Daniel J.
