Subject: Best speed without line-of-sight?
Sorry to ask what's probably a real newbie question, but I
know practically nothing about ham radio, and after a few
days of research, I haven't found the answer to one basic
question. What speed can I achieve without going to a
microwave line-of-sight type setup? I know that 1200-9600
seems to be possible without it, and the really fast
projects like 10-Ghz require it, but I'm hazy on the 56K
range.
I've discovered the WA4DSY 56K modem, but all it says is to
connect it to the transceiver of your choice. What does
that mean? Does it work with a standard radio, or something
special?
I'm about 50 miles from a free, high-speed Internet
connection. All the land-line options are very expensive
around here, so I'm ready to try anything else. Any
suggestions, or pointers to where I should start?
Thanks much,
Aaron

I'm also thinking of getting in to packet radio. From my research 9600
is about the best you can do with standard rigs interfaced to a
TNC.

To use 56k requires the use of one of the 100KHz wide data
channels on the 1.25m band or on the 70cm band or above.
As far as I know there are no high speed, 56K, links on 2m
or below.

You need a special rig for 56k. The standard IF bandwidth used
for phone operation is way too narrow for the 56k signal. You can
buy a data radio only that has the required wide IF bandwidth.

Just remember the "content" of some web sites may be offensive to
some people and likely violates FCC rules if sent over packet radio.

Subject: Equitorial Communications 99-022-17 controller
Greetings and Salutations...
Well, I have this box, that I picked up at a hamfest some time ago
and just ran across again (amazing what gets tucked into storage...)
It is, I believe some sort of a spread-spectrum controller for
satellite communications. However, I was wondering if any of y'all
had run across any information on this box, or company. The model
number on it is 5101-00. It has a serial port on the back (db25) and
an RF input (standard "video" cable). Inside...many components and a
286 processor. It PROBABLY dates from the late 80s...early 90s...
