	Ham-Shack.com : Packet Radio Explained
		Packet radio is communications for the computer age.
		Packet radio uses a terminal node controller (TNC) as the interface between a computer and a transceiver.
		Although you are operating your packet station on simplex, it is best not to use the designated FM simplex frequencies because packet and voice are not compatible modes.

	Packet Radio
		The good thing about packet radio is that you have to know a lot about how it works or memorize a whole new set of technical terms.
		Packet is used to pass a message accurately and in large quantities and to handle messages passed by the National Traffic System, it can provide an important function like any other amateur mode when used correctly.
		Packet Networks allow amateurs to widen the area of communications past their line of sight, by having a series of packet stations linked by radio, that can be used to get their packet messages to where ever the network goes.

	Packet Radio
		Packet radio is mostly operated in simplex, that is, one transmits at a time.
		Packet modems are A LOT more expensive than phone modems, a 56kbs phone modem could cost £50 and a 1200bps packet modem could cost £150 or more.
		Packet radio provides similar facilities to the Bulletin Board and the internet such as electronic mail and menu driven information retrieval and file transfer facilities.

	Packet Radio Primer
		Packet Radio is a digital form of communications.
		A packet radio station consists of a 2 meter radio, a terminal node controller (TNC), basically a modem for your radio, a computer running some type of communications software be it written for packet or as simple as a old telephone modem program like Telex, and connecting cables.
		The packet stations would need to know what the callsign and/or alias was on each location between there home location and where they wanted to connect.

	Packet radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modems used for packet radio vary in throughput and modulation technique, and are normally selected to match the capabilities of the radio equipment in use.
		The first amateur packet radio stations were constructed using surplus Bell 202 1,200 bit/s modems, and despite its low data rate, Bell 202 modulation has remained the standard for VHF operation in most areas.
		Packet radio has most often been used for direct, keyboard-to-keyboard connections between stations, either between two live operators or between an operator and a bulletin board system.

	Ham Radio Online - Metricom's Ricochet Packet Radio Network
		In the Ricochet network, a repeater is a digipeater in the traditional amateur radio sense, receiving a packet and forwarding the packet on into the network.
		Radio signals run a gauntlet of obstacles inside buildings facing up to 22 db of path loss and deep fades caused by interior multipath.
		Cellular Digital Packet Data or CDPD operates within the cellular phone system and provides user throughputs of about 9600 bps but at high costs - both the radio modem and the air time charges are inappropriate for use in general Internet browsing.

	WiNRADiO Advanced Digital Suite - Packet Radio Decoder
		Packet Radio is the common name for a radio amateur digital network that uses a variant of the X.25 protocol, known as AX.25 (from Amateur X.25).
		This decoder is designed to decode Radio Packet transmissions at bit rates of 300, 1200 and 2400 bits/second.
		An integrated recording and playback function making it possible to process packet signals off-line, as well as a logging facility to store the received text while the Decoder is running unattended, complement the Advanced Packet Radio Decoder.

	Packet Radio Under Linux (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Operating an amateur radio station requires an operator's license, which can be obtained by passing an examination that covers radio theory, regulations, operating practices and basic electronics.
		Packet radio is one such method in which text is encoded as binary data and transmitted via radio in groups of data, called packets.
		As well as being fun, packet radio under Linux taught me a lot about networking, much of which is also applicable to Ethernet, X.25 and other network protocols.

	MAEL-GPS/Amateur Radio - Glossary
		A means of adding voice or data to a radio frequency transmission by varying the amplitude of the carrier frequency.
		Each Amateur Radio station is assigned a call sign by the government of that country which allows the operator to transmit in the amateur radio bands.
		Radio frequency refers to a signal generated by a radio transmitter and sent out through an antenna.

	Radiometrix - Radio Packet Controller
		A data packet received by the RPC's transceiver is decoded, stored in a packet buffer and the Host microcontroller signalled that a valid packet is waiting to be uploaded.
		The format of the packet is entirely of the users determination except the 1st byte (the Control Byte) which must specify the packet type (control or data) and the packet size.
		A packet transferred between host and RPC consists of between 1 and 28 bytes, the first byte of the packet is always the control byte.

	TAPR Packet Radio
		Packet radio has been around since the mid-1960's, but was first seen on the amateur bands in 1978 through research done in Montreal, Canada in 1978.
		Packet radio is a particular digital mode of Amateur Radio ("Ham" Radio) communications which corresponds to computer telecommunications.
		Packet radio is so named because it sends the data in small bursts, or packets.

	How to be good at ISS Packet
		In countries where Amateur Radio Stations took the time to learn correct packet procedures, the success rate was very high when using the PMS on Mir.
		The radio is currently connected to an externally mounted mono band antenna (two antennas on opposite sides of the Zarya (FGB), co-phased together and tuned for 147 MHz).
		This packet message means that ISS is trying to disconnect from the station currently connected to this port.

	Sound Card Packet
		It was originally created as a TNC management utility and has many super features of value to packet users, but this article deals primarily with its ability to encode and decode packet tones using your computer sound card.
		AGWPE is particularly valuable since it can act as a "host" program for several good packet programs that do not have sound card modem capabilities of their own.
		George says the 300 baud HF modem is so sensitive that it decodes packets you cannot hear; the 1200 baud modem can decode packets even with S3 or less signal strength.

	The PacketRadio Beginners Guide to Packet Radio Operating
		I had to give the ham who might be willing to give Packet Radio a try, a head start by taking them around the pitfalls that I had experienced when I set up my first Packet station.
		The reason is that the TNC manufacturer has no idea what kind of radio or computer you might be connecting to.
		It is necessary that each new Packeteer be aware of the meaning of each speed, and the relationship to his/her Packet station.

	Reseau Packet Radio Martinique - Dossiers Techniques -
		Link layer packet radio transmissions are sent in small blocks of data, called frames.
		The destination address is the call sign and SSID of the amateur radio station to which the frame is addressed, while the source address contains the amateur call sign and SSID of the station that sent the frame.
		An example of this is if a group of amateurs are in a round-table discussion about packet radio, they could put PACKET in the destination address, so they would receive frames only from others in the same discussion.

	APRS FAQ
		This ISS packet operation joins the constellation of other AX.25 1200 baud packet digipeaters such as PCSAT-1, ANDE, and RAFT and also at 9660 baud, ECHO (AO-51) currently on orbit.
		Introduced to the manned space programs in 1990 on the Shuttle and MIR, packet radio first became operational on the present ISS on 22 Feb 2001, and operated well for over a year until it became intermittant and was replaced with the new Kenwood.
		Due to the APRS potential equivalence to a HAM radio "RF INTERNET" and today's kids total familiarity with the power and fun of the internet, it was thought that letting the ISS downlink its daily position and status directly to simple ground stations at schools to kids everywhere might spark an interest in HAM Radio.

	Amateur Packet Radio's Maliase - Personal Reflections
		He generously allows as to how packet radio could serve as a "backup" for the telephone, then goes on to explain how unlikely it is that it will be needed even for THAT purpose.
		Knowing they look silly in comparasin to Amateur Packet Radio, their reaction is to constantly "run down" every aspect of packet padio and packet users, and take other, more concrete and immediate steps to wear it down and destroy it.
		If you are sincerely interested in the welfare of the amateur radio digital network and it's community, please step forward to provide the leadership and direction which amateur packet radio so desperately needs at this time.
