G'day Richard and all,
VK2XCi is an experimental VHF to HF gate as well as HF digi. at this
stage no gate to internet. I'm using UIview and AGWPE.HF modem is a
soundcaed under AGWPE, VHF is a Tiny 2 in Kiss mode. Alias's are VK2XCI,
WIDE , Gate. This is subject to change as I play. sorry experiment.


VHF node is on 144.700 which is the old AARG packet digi frequency. HF
is on 10.1476. It is operational during "manned" hours... generally 0600
to 2200 local... when I can keep the HF rig on frequency. Location is
QF27wd

The initial purpose was to gate my local VHF tracker to HF thence to the
internet so that my familly can track me via the internet as I travel
the outback. Operationally this has not proved overly successfull as the
HF rig drifts too much. As a proof of concept it is an unqualified
success. There is little chance of the VHF traffic overwhelming the HF
network due to the "odd" VHF input frequency and the sheer lack of APRS
hams in the Bush.
