The AREDN Web site (https://www.arednmesh.org/content/supported-platform-matrix) has a list of suitable hardware. Contact Tom, K1KY, at his QRZ listed email and let him know you want to play. He'll te

The Ubiquity systems are very nice. You could start by getting you and another ham who are within range and set up a pair of stations. The range is really horrible if you aren’t line of site though. T

Also be sure to look into the HamWAN approach (more engineered for constant use rather than as a mesh) -- https://hamwan.org

Hi Perry, thanks for the email. I studied the MESH system last year and considered getting a Ubuiquti or other hardware but frankly, I didn't know where to start. I have an old cable modem from back i

Additionally, mid-Tennessee has a microwave AREDN mesh network on 2.5/5 GHz (under Ham allocations) that covers most of the state and is linked nation wide. The system is called "Southmesh". Perry - K

Biggest issue is that VARA on HF is a lot faster than HF Packet. A RaspberryPi "BQP" node can handle VARA as well as Packet on HF or VHF. Air Force MARS has a network of HF "message centers" using tha

Hi Dave, I'm 33.4 miles from you. Let's stay in touch. Maybe we can cook something up sometime. Bill

This is all very different from the packet of old. For one thing, once you get a chat network up which works reliably, you have an instant community of people who work together. A great thing of any l

don't forget, we have existing networks on 7.104 and 14.105 300b LSB also, a few users on 3.589..

Well on one hand you can wish you had a network that was 500 miles wide, and you can work towards that goal. On the other hand you could have 5 or 20 locals who could chat with each other entirely on

Hi Tadd, the issue here is making the long-haul from mid-Tennessee to your area. At one time there was a Ham east of Huntsville and I could copy his packet with my 10 element yagi aat a distance of ab

hi. I am in Raleigh NC. I have an interest in building packet networks so we hams can connect long distances over ham radio, not the Internet, and chat in real time over ham radio packet. What kind of

I've been active with packet since 1976, worked on the US Army technical team and developed packet system for Army tactical radios (AN/PRC-77 family). Located in Brentwood, TN. Hope to get more Hams i

On APRSDroid I get this error message: Could not connect to PiZero! Please turn on the device and close other Bluetooth connections. It seems my issue it getting the phone paired with the Pi. Here are

I have a Raspberry Pi Zero W loaded with Direwolf as a TNC for an HT UV-5R. I would like to use this Pi/Direwolf as a TNC which is much improved over an APRS cable due to the availability of the PTT G

I think it is one of the dependencies...not sure what is going on. I'm trying to reflash it to work on i2c as I want 2 attached to my pi to do HF and VHF.

The programs compile ok here using Arduino 1.8.9 and Teensyduino 1.47. It may be something has changed in the latest versions - I suggest you try with the versions I'm using. 73, John G8BPQ

I am unable to get the teensy code to compile in Arduino. I even did a clean install of the Arduino software. I followed the instructions, installed arduino, installed the addon, copied the files, etc
