Fiddling with packet radio. The idea is to have a node/repeater/bbs/etc on 27mc. At revspace and at Flok's house (in Gouda).

Networking

Currently the rpi is connected to a gl-inet (owned by Flok). The gl-inet is a repeater for revspace-pub. The gl-inet has a port-forward to the rpi.

IP address of the gl-inet: 10.42.43.253.

MAC address of the gl-inet: e4:95:6e:40:2c:34

MAC address of the raspberry pi: b8:27:eb:2b:a2:f9

The RPI can be accessed from RevRadio2 via IP address 172.19.0.9 - this IP address is part of the liberreto TINC vpn mesh network.

Hardware

We have an TNC-PI which is a TNC connected to a Raspberry Pi interfaced to a Midland Alan 48 plus (27 MHz) radio. Every five (5) minutes it sends out a beacon of information about the setup and the request to report back any receptions. Any incoming packets are being logged to the disk. If an incoming packet appears to be an APRS packet, it should get digipeated.
