Klondyke
Node Project
The VHF
Group operates a 2m/70cm
node at its Klondyke
site for packet radio (computer-to-computer) communication. This
installation
is an upgrade of the former data repeater (a voice repeater without
tail).
At this stage, the system comprises the former data repeater's
transmitter
and receiver, a pair of Tekk KS-1000 data transceivers, and the node
controller
box. As well as operating it in the same manner as the data repeater,
users
can also connect to the controller box which operates under the
callsign
ZL1PKT. The bitregenerating 2m port generates new "clean" packets
from incomming packets, allowing users to connect to other users and
services
on the 2m port, or after connecting to ZL1PKT, connecting via the 70cm
9600Bd
G3RUH port to users and services on the 70cm port. As soon as suitable
software
becomes available, TCP/IP connectivity will also be provided. If and
when
the Digital National System, which is planned by a group in Wellington,
reaches Klondyke, we plan to provide a connection to it.
