The RMS gateway now is online using an Icom IC-M710 for Pactor 2,3, VARA and Ardop modes. Tests show the radio is operating at its rated output for each mode. switching to the M710 from the IC-707 should provide a more reliable connection, especially with VARA and ARDOP. Please email me any feedback you may have on how the gateway is now performing. -Gary KI4WPI
VHF RMS WA7TPB-10 in Port Townsend, WA is now operational. The Diamond F-22A vertical antenna is temporarily mounted on a 6 ft pole in the back yard, but gives useful coverage from my location in the Uptown area. Ping tests reveal that I can easily reach the neigboring city of Sequim with a good S/N.
