[OZAPRS] Status of the HF network ?

Thu Nov 9 22:15:05 AEDT 2017

Hi David,

Thanks a lot for the information. I really like the concept, because it is
"tried and tested" and just a couple of "clicks" away.
I have most bits at home and will order the UDRC II at the first
opportunity.

available HAT for the RPi that provides a complete interface for 2 radios -
the UDRC II from NW Digital Radio - http://nwdigitalradio.com/category/udrc/
Originally it was designed to interface to a Yaseau DR-2 repeater, but it
works fine driving other radios. I have it running in my car with both VHF
and HF radios and it works well. Have a look at my blog entry for details:
