<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well you can</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>+ You can do it with a PC, replace SGATE withe
SGATE,WIDE2-1 and then swap freq to 145.175 MHz on receive</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>+ You can do it with a uP TNC if you ask nicely of
the BYONICS and ARGENT systems people TNC-X</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>+ You can do it with a cross band VF repeater
- translate 145.825 MHz to 145.175 MHz (hard - need cavities)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>+ DIGI_NED will probably do it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Whats best is to stick a high digi peater, and make
one of the ALIAS ="SGATE"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So downlink, the DIGI hears better than my house,
and repeats the packet on 145.825 MHz (chews up pass time)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So uplink, the DIGI gates me and hits ISS with more
success than me, BECAUSE I aim my packet like this:-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>UNPROTO CQ VIA VK4SAT-1,RS0ISS-4</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In other words, on the uplink, I force a packet
from ME to the DIGI to the ISS</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Or mount the whole lot on a hill and have it blown
up or stolen</FONT></DIV>
