I'm in the process of preparing a new document on
the AMPRNet.
I'd like to include a section on the radio-based portions of the
network.
Is anyone actually using the network over radio at this point?
Could you supply some details?
(All the discussions of the landline-based portions of the network
are well and good but this network is supposed to be about radio-based
networking and that seems to be falling by the wayside.)

Hi Brian,
I have 4 (really 5) RF ports (2x1200bps and 2x9600bps0 here in Athens.
Network name is ATHNET and at the moment 2 ports run 24/7 the rest are
still experimental.
- 1st port is on 144800 KHZ/1200bps runs as an APRS IGATE while the
- 2nd port is on 438025 KHZ/9600bps running as a NODE/BBS access and
it includes TCP/IP access to AMPRnet addresses only.
- 3rd port is on 144650 KHZ/1200bps as a NODE/BBS access and
it includes TCP/IP access to AMPRnet addresses only, but usually
it is OFF until I find a dedicated radio.
- 4th port is on 430650 KHZ/9600bps as a NODE/BBS access and
it includes TCP/IP access to AMPRnet addresses only, but usually
it is OFF until I solve some antenna problems.
- 5th port??? I have also acquired a ubiquity bullet for 802.11b/g which can be
upgraded with new firmware and be made to change frequency making it
operable in the Radio Amateur Band segment of 2.4GHZ and this will also
allow full AMPRnet connectivity using WiFi technology.
Users are sparse though. You see, Netrom Barons and Packet Kings
have driven most Radio Hams away from our PACKET RADIO Networks,
in favour of Internet.
I just hope I can convince some people to come back and start using AMPRnet.
Hi hi hi!!!
