Re: [44net] direction request

I suggest not using PC to connect to the AMPRNET get a small mikrotik router it support IPIP it operate on low voltage and consume nothing I have it working here with this setup as for connecting radio you can connect with wireless lan as the fellows do on hamnet see here https://hamwan.org/ by that you will get high speed and wireless gear dont take too much power its less the 25 Watt 2M radio Or U can connect to 9600 Baud or 1200 baud on VHF and UHF ham band and work Packet radio (i personally not recommend due to the low speed) Regards Ronen - 4Z4ZQ http://www.ronen.org Ronen Pinchooks (4Z4ZQ) WebSite<http://www.ronen.org/> www.ronen.org ronen.org (Ronen Pinchooks (4Z4ZQ) WebSite) is hosted by domainavenue.com hamwan.org - A modern, multi-megabit, IP-based, digital ...<https://hamwan.org/> hamwan.org index; A modern, multi-megabit, IP-based, digital network for amateur radio use!

Quickstart - AMPRNet - wiki.ampr.org<http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Quickstart> wiki.ampr.org So you're a licensed amateur radio operator, you're interested in IP networking, and you want to combine the two. AMPRNet is for you. This Quickstart guide can help ... while it seem almost easy to power the PC with solar-cells battery is it not clear for me: - if and how is possible to use 44net to internet-connect the remote site via RF, feel it just a matter to have sufficient "radio power" to reach a 44net bridge, a PC/router and some radio devices but unsure. - what kind of radio devices are suitable for that use (or: how far can radio waves go with a "poor" power source?) - locations (if any) of local-radio-amateur joined in 44net that can bridge some internet traffic from/to such a "leaf-site" moreover my limit are: - money: while it's a personal initiative have no founding except my incoming and thus cheap is a must - reliability: can't be on site to fix any possible problem as them arise, so "good" devices are required as stated in RFC1925 : <<good, fast, cheap: choose two, you can't have all three>> implies that am aware that "fast" can't be get; just need directions and some "good" reference for the HW where I can learn details as power requirements and for the SW (but I guess 44net is the right place). wish you nice day $witch _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net 44Net Info Page - University of California, San Diego<http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net> hamradio.ucsd.edu Your email address: Your name (optional): You may enter a privacy password below.
