<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">When I ran a HF
gateway I set the radio dial appropriate for the TNC tones and
that was it. I use USB even though either sideband can be used
with the appropriate dial offset. I occasionally used a
waterfall display in Digipan (I think) to look at the frequency
of other signals. As somebody else said, don't drive the tx into
ALC. I don't know what gear you'll be using but I always used
KISS TNCs for the gateway and found some txtail time was
required. Txtail is a KISS parameter you can read about
elsewhere, but from memory I used 40mS. TXD needs to be set
higher than for VHF packet (aprs) - I used 400mS.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">My gateway had 20m,
30m, and 40m, radio ports, and 30m walks ALL over the other two.
For the 30m BBS prior to me going to aprs I had links to some
parts of Oz (at about 1000km) for 22 hours a day.<br>
