Another great show! I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to making the WaveTalker presentations so informative. This series has been very helpful to me from the beginning. Thanks!
Thanks again for another great topic. Really clarifies and explains how to use and buid out the Winlink system. The only caution would be using a handheld for a gateway. Most handhelds can get pretty hot on digital modes. But if it's just to get on the air while you set up other equipment...or if you have another one to swap in (only $30-ish), not a bad option.
Thanks @roydugger7303, you are absolutely right as a long term solution an HT does not make good choice for a Gateway but in the Tactical Gateway scenario we walk through we think it makes a lot of sense to get on the air quickly as you work to improve your station. Chris W6AH
With all the new gear yes it's easy to connect a radio to a computer, though we still should show how to use a kantronics K3 modem, setup and parts needed to say a VHF alinco DR-138T Building and programming. Granted some of this is out of my wheel house in learning. Also in the same way that kantronics K3 + or whatever version can do packet which is also message passing in a different format then winlink. Packet was the frist chat room before internet. There is also the sos modems mfj vhf uhf hf modems. There's not much information out there in setting up these items. But Ina emergency what about using a older computer win xp win 98. Those systems are out there and worse case you can get one working and are lucky enough to have these programs on a drive to load onto a operating system... just a thought.
Question: If your sending an email VS a voice/phone message can you encrypt the email message body and not the transmition? FCC says you cant encrypt the transmition. But I don't recall anything about the data that the transmition sends. Like in the body of a plain unencrypted email. Not send pizza. But a brevmat code. Like HA AH HH AA KE RO.
No, there is no encryption allowed on the ham bands. All messages must be sent in the clear. Compression that is open and freely decoded is allowed, think sending Morse Code, that is compressed and encoded for each letter, but it is not encrypted. Encrypting the body of the message would obscure the meaning and thus not be permitted.
Lots of useful information in this video. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the awesome info!

My head exploded 32 minutes into this! 😫🤯
