Jim Jerzycke (KQ6EA) sent me this link:\nhttp://www.qbjnet.com/packet.html. I'm going to start\nthere, and see if I can get it figured out this time. I had let\nmy license lapse during the \"Packet Years\", so I really have\nno experience to fall back on. IOW, I don't have even the\nvaguest of clues. :) I have the soundcard hooked up\nto the FT-726R for recording, so at least I've got a place to\nstart. \n\nBob - AE6RV\n\n--- Bruce Robertson <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Quoting Bob Stewart <[email protected]>:\n> \n> > --- Robert Bruninga <[email protected]> wrote:\n> > \n> > > You don't need anything but a 2m radio and a TNC.
