Does anyone have any experience interfacing the TAPR
boards to the IBM PC? In particular, I am looking for
mailbox programs.
We are planning to provide digital communications
between our location in Tucson with our sister organization
in Chile. We currently use HF radio for voice and RTTY
and plan to replace the RTTY with packet.
Due to the 3-4 hour time difference, we would like to
be able to store message in the PC and download them
to the TAPR board starting at 5AM, and also receive
new messages with no operator present.
We operate just below 21 Mhz on a nice clear gov't channel.
Generally communications quality is excellent.
Does anyone have experience running packet at these frequencies?
What baud rates might one hope to reliably achieve?
