Packet Radio

Some of you may remeber the 80's when packet radio was all the rage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_radio Times changed and the use of the Internet all but killed it off apart from APRS Recently, and expecially with 'Off grid' thinking it has begun to grow again. I've been playing for a while with my TMD-700, but recent changes have shown it's restrictions. Over the weekend I built a new TNC and through the local club have a dedicated raio and the system is working very well using WhatsPac This has moved things into the 21st century and now with speeds of 9600 it's becoming a robust way to comunicate. Below is the TNC and radio.
