Locked MN Packet Radio / VARA node map


 



I got this map of some digital resources here in MN.


 

Mike, I had briefly talked to you about my Vara FM gateway project and just to let you know that my Windows 10 ISO install on the Rpi4 did not turn out well. The Rpi4 will boot but crashes soon after. I suspect it's a lack of memory (ROM) issue but will have to investigate. I have a Windows 11 mini-PC ordered for the time being but will update you as I get everything configured.


 

Hi Ben, will VARA FM work thru the 440 repeater?? My gut says it should, but...
That would be a great ad hoc way to have cake and eat it.

The map I posted shows a lot of VARA activity. Are you going to be able to do some show & tell at the meeting?

I have read that VaraFM has been done through 2m repeaters, but requires that there is no tone set on the repeater.


 

RMS RELAY which is a requirement of the Winlink gateway also doubles as a digipeater to "hop"? VaraFM messages similar to the way 2m packet does.


 

What does a RMS gateway look like and would it replace the TNC on the 2m side?

?

?


 

A Windows computer or Raspberry pi running RMS RELAY and an external soundcard (signalink, digirig or RDA board) interfaced with the radio is the extent of equipment involved.?
