hard day on network radio with all that packet latency lag and gaps .....

Is AX.25 still active, or Packet radio in general?

Cheers, T i m


don't know I was never stupid enough to use them...


I was and for quite a few years and it was both interesting and useful
(pre affordable Internet especially). I could get into GB7HSN
(Mottingham) on 2m pretty reliably (Pye Westminster + home made TNC)
and then later on 70cms on another ex PMR rig and a Kantronics KPC3
(was it)?

..I think it was just a
passing fad .....


Handy if someone steals the Internet though. ;-)
