  Packet Radio 

Packet Radio is enjoying an upsurge in our area, largely as a result of people seeing its value as an efficient means of communicating in emergency situations. But it sure isn't limited to emergencies!

While the traditional method of using a computer, a TNC (terminal node controller) and a radio is the easiest, with modern computers and good soundcards, you can eliminate the expense of the TNC.
