Re: wrong topic - but I guess this is where the experts live
Hi Iain,
This is outside of the SSID topic, but in my experience the most important part of a packet station is the antenna. All the other components of the station cannot make up for any

Re: wrong topic - but I guess this is where the experts live
Hi Iain,
Based on your callsign you appear to be in the UK. I'm not sure why you emphasized that one of the two locations is a commercial building but in some (most?) countries it is not legal to use

Re: wrong topic - but I guess this is where the experts live

Re: wrong topic - but I guess this is where the experts live
As. you note, you must use different SSIDs for each site.

Re: Not Detecting SDR
