* Build cabinet for #RCHWD site, must house computer, radios, power supplies, TNCs. Computer should have 2 serial ports and wireless network card. Computer obtained, build in progress.  Total count is 5 radios (1 6m, 2 2m, 1 1.25m and 1 70cm) and 6 TNCs (BPQ32 will be on all but APRS TNC, which will be linked to VM of Linux running Xastir for a digipeater/Igate).  The 6th TNC will be wired to "share" the 145.010 radio to give both BPQ32 service as well as a Linux based RMS gateway. '''***Update 5/11/09***''' Computer built on Dell, had problems with Linksys N card, transplated into IBM desktop, still getting inconsistant behavior with wireless card.  Going to return PCI card and locate Wireless Bridge.

'''***Update 6/02/09***''' Midland Syntech I onsite @ CMHSW2.  Channel 42, 440.050.  There are audio problems.  Reversed TXA and GND on mic connector which did not fix.  Suspect extremely low TX drive level from TNC.  Will need to revert mic cable wiring and crank up R76 in TNC to get adequate audio drive.  Also ensure preamp has been transplanted into radio successfully (take neutered mic + HT)

  • Continue to acquire gear/test equipment for shared workshop. Will need antennas to cover as much HF as possible, 6m, 2m, 222 MHz, 70cm. Spare power supplies, few computers for workstations/web search, eprom burning facilities, packet host to test cables for 4 main interfaces: soundmodem(Linux), DRSI, TNC2, Kantronics 9 pin.
  • Locate portable computer, 20amp switching power supply and appropriate cabling for a portable LMR programming station covering both Syntech I and XTR/Syntech II models.
