I enjoy DXing ZR> and building kits and things like that. When you say you want a setup ZR> for your BBS, are you looking to create a packet radio BBS? it's a useful answer - thx for it expert ;) i want my existing BBS with telnet and gsm(cellphone) modem access set up also for packet radio. 2k4 or a bit more are possible i think. i've heard about that "your soundcard is your modem stuff" before, does that realy work? is there a need for a special soundkart or would a soundcard which is soldert on the mainboard work for it? in germany we have some relay-station where your packet-radio signal can be bridget to long ranges. it's called here sometimes digipeater. here is a list as an example: Rufzeichen Standort System Ausgabe (Ablage) Geschwindigkeit (callsign) (location) (outbound?) (speed) DBOVN Neuss APRS 144.800 (simplex) 1200 baud DBOTV Meerbusch APRS 144.800 (simplex) 1200 baud DBKX Viersen APRS 144.800 (simplex) 1200 baud DBRWI Dsseldorf DIGI/MBOX 438.375 (simplex) 9600 Baud DBOVN Neuss DIGI/MBOX 438.525 (-7.6 Mhz) 9600 Baud DBII Mnchengladbach DIGI 439.900 (-9.4 Mhz) 9600 Baud DBDSP Dsseldorf DIGI 439.700 (-9.4 Mhz) 102,4 kBaud DBII Mnchengladbach DIGI 1242.825 (+ 20 MHz) 9600 Baud with this kind of a network you can connect from your home to a station of the digipeater network and send your data across the country without having a antenna that glows in the night and let you hair spread in the air :) is there a simlar system in the US?
