Re: RECOMMEND SUSPEND WINLINK HF and CMS (Telnet/internet) until MILTON hurricane passes.

 

didn't realize rms and cms were different layers, thought a node was rms if it had a radio connected and cms if it had internet configured. Good to know, and that vhf/uhf non-p2p use is still fine.

Email from your ISP (.gmail.com) to a winlink.org email address (n4txx@...) and vice versa will traverse the internet via CMS backbone. The RMS gateway will connect to CMS to transfer those messages to/from your winlink express client.

When using TELNET on winlink express or another client such as the RADIOMAIL iphone app, you are connecting to the CMS backbone hosted on Amazon AWS. You can see this in the connection log.

As for P2P, I’ve only used this winlink express mode on RACES HF exercises (which is now cancelled for this weekend).

Without a doubt, this is the best action. ?Please suspend any HF Winlink operations unless asked to operate in official capacity or until advised by state officials to resume normal operations.?

Please continue use of VHF/UHF packet and VARA transmissions as you normally do!

Thanks to all and pray for those in the path of the storm.

Thanks Rick for bringing this to our attention!

RECOMMEND SUSPEND WINLINK HF and CMS (Telnet/internet) until MILTON hurricane passes.

 

TX RACES has asked that routine WINLINK HF RMS gateway and TELNET (CMS backend) use be suspended until after Hurricane Milton passes. This will reduce the potential for interference to HF winlink operations in Florida, as well as the Amazon hosted CMS backend that handles winlink telnet and email message transfer.
?
VHF/UHF P2P winlink use is ok, however this mode is not likely used by club members nor the club RMS gateways. Russ can confirm.

I have the Baofeng GM-15 Pro which will not work with Chirp. Had to use a Radiotity software for one of their radios that is equivalent

Stephen, links below to a CHIRP .img file for GMRS, MURS and NOAA. Associated .CSV file export if needed. This is an extract from my Baofeng HT's master CHIRP file.
?
You'll notice TWO GMRS channels programmed for the Montgomery and Conroe repeaters I'm aware of. I don't know of any GMRS repeaters in Walker Co. Although at the last club meeting, Glenn mentioned that a GMRS repeater is being planned for the club's repeater site.
?
I use CHIRP exclusively for all of my analog HT's. I rarely use the customer programming software (CPS) from the radio manufacture. Using CHIRP allows me to copy/paste channels among my various analog HT's from TIDRADIO, BTECH and Baofeng to keep them in sync.
?
My HT's are 'unlocked' so I can load police/fire/ems, NOAA, GMRS/FRS and MURS as well as HAM bands.
