If you actually start doing that and having deployed units responding to ?JS8, you could easily create a nationwide or worldwide AUTO net, providing low power, very inexpensive message relaying.?
JS8 auto station:
UBitx $130
Soundcard homebrew $20
Raspberry $40
12VDC & 5vdc power supplies
Simple dipole antenna
Free software?

Since I have a tiny bit of time on my hands this week, I¡¯m going to finish out another soundcard & Isolator to go on my uBitx. ? ?I have never put it on the spectrum analyzer to see how the relays did, and I may be able to repair one of the filters
that I broke ?a portion.... while installing the relays
JS8 is catching our fancy in our emergency communications group, and this could be a perfect deployed unit as an AUTO relay station. ?Since there is a raspberry pi version of J. S8call, ?it could be perfect
I might suggest for your net, that you begin to use a JS8 frequency, such as 14078.... ?and a group
@UBITX
It might be interesting to see how many respond

The Microbitx raduino and the raduino are the same but the microbitx uses all of the pins. The 40 uses only 5. My video right here shows the two , I said four pins but its clearly 5. The programs used in the two raduinos are completely different,
and make the Si synthesizer put out completely different frequencies, plus the radio has to be completely set for the different raduino if you were to change it. That said, as they come out of the factory they can be pretty close to the frequencies you need,
if you use the one in the package . This video shows the two configurations for the raduinos.?
