Re: eQSO / EchoLink-type link for TM net?
Right then....
Fez has completed his planning and we have ordered the parts. We hope to have some basic PTT/serial interface kits ready to go in the next few weeks.
Fez is sending me some kits this week and I will construct one and connect it to a radio here, at which time we will conduct live on-air tests using FRN...
If anyone else is interested in getting an FRN node up and running, please post your interest here. We can provide you with a kit at-cost. We estimate somewhere around £5.
Would be cool to get a TM1 FRN net going on some kind of regular basis!
Big-up to Fez for all his hard work thus far. Its really appreciated matie!

I'd be interested, but I also need a rig that can cover 27.500 so I can play.... Any suggestions on something cheap I could use.

This project would be for either UK40 or MID band, whichever suited you best.Red Fox wrote:I'd be interested, but I also need a rig that can cover 27.500 so I can play.... Any suggestions on something cheap I could use.
The kit Fez has designed also means it is possible to connect to a 446 radio and use that as the local FRN gateway....
Look on ebay for older 120ch radios for 27.500 access matie. You'll need one that does a 5kc shift though, as most chanelised radios don't do this...

Re: eQSO / EchoLink-type link for TM net?
Thanks,
I have an old Alan 95 Plus, that I converted to 200ch and sure enough the nearest I could get was 5khz out. I got a Thunder pole to try, so just need a BNC to PL259 adapter and I'm ready to go..... Please pm me where the dosh needs to be sent for the kit.

Right then, I have my end of the link setup and ready to test tonight, so I'll post details here when we are up and running and maybe a few of us can have a chat :-)

Re: eQSO / EchoLink-type link for TM net?
OK, I'll monitor whatever channel you go for on my HF receiver and see what I can hear, its all set to handle PSK31 now.
I assume for PSK31 to be properly utilized it should be on an AM channel so multiple conversations can be ongoing on a single channel ???

Coming into this one a bit late, but where did you end up with it? I'd certainly like to know more and whether your trials were abused.
