I am brand new to ham-radio, packet and all the like. I am interested in
using packet amateur radio to establish a full link between my unix machine
(USL 4.2) and the internet. Is this possible? Where do I start?
I need an education, where can I find the information I'm looking for.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
I have two 1.2 GHz repeaters and until recently I had a 1.2 GHz packet cluster
node operating in the Bay Area. I just transfered this node to a friend who
is now operating it.
What I use is off the shelf equipment. It is not full duplex... But it did
work and work very well.
1.2 GHz radios are available from Yeasu, ICOM, Standard and Kenwood...

There's a "keyboard mod" that will allow you to receive out-of-band on
UHF. It is a bit cumbersome but it works well up to about 460 MHz or
so.
***
For those looking for an extended UHF receive mod for the Yaesu FT-470
handie-talkie, here it is!
Found this on packet this afternoon and after trying it out on my
FT-470, it works great!
(Edited for line length limit)

Thanks to Darrel Sego (KM9S) and INFO-HAMS for the basis of this
mod. This modification require NO TOOLS and will allow your Yaesu
FT-470 to RECEIVE from 400.00 MHz to 500.00 MHz. Transmit is
intact only from 430.000 to 450.00 MHz.
Modification Follows:
YAESU FT-470 UHF RECEIVE MODIFICATION.
This modification will make the poular Yaesu FT-470 dual-band
handheld transceiver receive below 430 MHz and above 450MHz. This
procedure stores the upper limit into the "U" memory channel and
the lower limit into the "L" memory. To use it return to the "L"
memory and tune up to the frequency desired or direct keypad
entry (example 460.075, enter 60.075). Once the frequency is
entered you may store it into any memory according to the
operating instruction manual. NOTE: do not invoke memory skip in
either the "U" or the "L" memory.
Here are the steps in order.
1. Place the radio on the UHF band and program into VFO A 450.00 MHz
simplex (no offset).
2. Press the F and then the RPT key.
3. Enter 0000 into the keypad.
4. Shut the transceiver off then back on.
5. Press the repeat key twice for a + (plus) offset.
6. Press the REV button one time.
7. The radio will now display 1450 MHz. (the radio won't operate
at these frequencies).
8. Press the F key and the down arrow until the unit displays 500.00
MHz. Press the F key twice to store in the "U" memory.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 4.
10. Press the repeat key for a - (minus) offset.
11. press the REV button once.
12. Key the PTT button 3 times. The display should show 45 MHz.
13. Press the F key and the UP arrow until the unit displays
400.00 MHz. Press the F key once and rotate the knob on top until
the unit displays "L" memory. Press the F key twice to store into
the "L" memory.
ANY frequency can be either dialed in, scanned, or keyed in.
Store your favorite frequncies in any memory.
Variations on frequency limits can be used. Sensitivity is
useable at 506 with severe degradation over the spec.
Have fun!!

I did the above and plugged in 483.2125 (L.A. County Sheriff, East Los
Angeles) and with my Pro-34 scanner as a check radio, I was able to
receive there. However, during step 12, my display said "50" instead of
the stated "45".
One thing that the mod does not mention that by entering in 0000 during
step 3 (modifying the repeater split), it only affects VFO A. After
you've made the keyboard mod, you can reset the repeater split for VFO A
(if you don't and you enter a 440 frequency with either a -/+ offset,
you won't be offset! It will remain at 0.00 offset).
Caution: If you don't have the automatic repeater offset option ON, the
repeater offset will remain active when you do the above steps. And the
repeater offset indicator remains active in the L/U memories. If you
follow the above instructions to dial in the extended UHF frequency and
save it to one of the memory channels, the offset is also saved. And if
you press the PTT, in addition to the "Err" message, your frequency
display for that memory channel becomes scrambled (but the frequency
itself is not changed). My recommendation either is to remove the
offset after you've saved the extended UHF freq. into memory or turn ON
the APO.
