A couple of gripes about 1296MHz
In a previous job I looked after 460MHz (bloody longwave bollocks) comms gear on the roof of the library at the Kings buildings site. My first choice was alongside EDN but apparently mobile phone kit

Westica 1.4GHz kit?
I might be able to lay my hands on some old Westica MiniMux kit running on 1.4GHz, but I don't know an awful lot about it yet. Apparently it goes down to 1350MHz. Does anyone know if it's possible to

ON4KST Alternative?
Some sort of chat server? Hmmm, the sort of thing that aprsd would be ideal for, right? It's even got filtering so you can cut the noise down a bit by only listening for specific areas.

M Audio Delta 44 souncard
