This morning, around 19:00 UTC, 14 MAR 84, Randy VE1SAT/VE6(VE1PAC) and
I did some more gateway experiments. Randy was able to remotely command a
local LA two meter TNC. I had two TAPR TNCs placed back to back on
their serial ports, with one TNC connected to the ao-10 gear, and the other
connected to a 2 meter handheld on 145.36MHz.
The oscar TNC was in transparent mode, the local TNC was just attached,
initially it was in command mode. The setup was
VE1SAT - remote satellite station/TNC
|
v
Oscar-10 Transponder
|
v
NK6K-0 satellite packet station, Redondo Beach
|
v
NK6K-0 local packet station (145.36 MHz)
|
v
Los Angles/San Diego
Once VE1SAT was connected to the serial input of a local LA TNC, he could
connect to anyone. The endpoint selected was WB6YMH-2, a TNC with a
CPM ($50 820 board) system. Once connected to WB6YMH-2, Randy ran a
version of the W3IWI orbit program.
The test ended when the temporary cable between TNCs fell apart, but
it was enough to show the idea.
