INTRODUCTION TO PACKET RADIO - PART 18
by Larry Kenney, WB9LOZ
WB9LOZ'S PARTING COMMENTS
In the previous 17 parts of this series, I have attempted to
cover all of the basics of packet radio - from setting up your
TNC and making your first QSO, to using digipeaters, the packet
node network, and bulletin board systems. Many of the TNC commands
have been explained, including the best settings for normal use,
and I've offered some suggestions that should make it easier and
more enjoyable for you to use packet radio.
Now that you have the basics, you might want to continue with
your study by investigating some of the other facets of packet
radio. There are several programs available that I haven't covered
in this series that you might find interesting. There's the Packet
Cluster software used by the DX Spotting Network for finding
those rare DX stations, APRS-the Automatic Packet Reporting System
that's now very popular for station locating and for use with GPS,
the Global Positioning Satellites, J-NOS and T-NOS for use with
TCP/IP, other networking programs like Tex-Net and Rose, and new
computer programs specifically written for packet and the other
digital modes. The list goes on and on. PAC-SAT, the amateur packet
satellite program, is growing in popularity as more satellites
carrying packet radio equipment are released. High speed modems
running at speeds of up to 56 kilobaud are just around the corner
for general use on packet radio. What developments will be next?
To keep up with the latest developments in Packet Radio, join your
local packet radio group or digital communications club. Become a
member of TAPR, the Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Corporation, the
national organization that is devoted to packet radio development
and education. TAPR has a quarterly newsletter and offers kits,
publications, and a disk library of software and information
(including this "Introduction to Packet Radio" that you're
reading). You can contact them at (817) 383-0000. Read the packet
columns in "QST", "CQ", "73" and other ham magazines and look for
bulletins on your local BBS offering new information and discussions
of developing systems, software and hardware. Packet Radio, and
digital communications in general, are still relatively new areas
and I'm sure you'll be seeing lots of changes in the years ahead.
I'd like to thank the following people for their help in preparing
this series: Don Simon, NI6A; Bill Choisser, K9AT; Don Fay, K4CEF;
Scott Cronk, N7FSP; Roy Engehausen, AA4RE; and Hank Oredson,
