W7PLC Hybrid Gateway Station. 9/23/2020
2 years ago I started with a basic packet station, computer, KPC-3+ and a FT-2900R feeding a 7.8dB gain VHF vertical antenna. This worked fine for a while until I realized there was a need for a Gateway station in West Olympia.
I downloaded and installed RMS Packet and RMS Trimode. This gave users internet access via my VHF radio which was parked on 145.630MHz. With good coverage and lots of users, I decided to upgrade to a Hybrid station, adding HF to the mix. I also have a good, stable Comcast internet connection.
