Re: IP over rf ax25 (vhf link)


 

Ok, I'll take a stab at this for you.
?
While nothing is impossible, and there may be something out there that will do it, AXIP over RF is normally done on microwave frequencies 2.4ghz and up. I don't see any reason shy it could not be done at any frequency though.
?
The IPGATEWAY function basically creates an interface to a hardware device, such as a WiFi router with custom firmware, that provides that IP address and interfaces with your BPQ node.? That WiFi device is only limited by it's range, whether it is across a room, ranch, or or for miles. It could be on most any frequency allowed by FCC rules.? Most of the time the WiFi device is modified to use amateur radio frequencies and are within the power limits of amateur radio rules.
?
I do not know of any method that will say, link a VHF port to your computer and use an IP address over VHF in the manner I think you are believing. However, once that IPGATEWAY has been established it basically becomes a port of your node just like your VHF is a port of your node.? So, someone connecting to your VHF port will have access to your gateway and can use that path.? I'm sure this is not a completely accurate decription but I should give you an idea.
