[HamWAN PSDR] HamWan 900 MHz

[Rob Salsgiver]

Gold's 900 is up and running - in fact we were just debating it a bit on the list a week or so ago, discussing whether anyone was actively using it and/or interested in experimenting with it, or whether to scrap it and take it offline.  Mikrotik no longer makes a radio to use 900, so if we want to work with it we'll have to look at alternatives.  There's a MT baseboard with a ubiquity daughterboard that Spokane folks are using we can look at.  

What is your interest in 900 and where would you like to see it go?  I think the project has some value for some of the non-LOS sites at a lower data rate, but do we have enough people interested to make it worth the effort is the question?

Cheers,
Rob

It's been a couple years since I asked about 900 MHz.   Has there been
any change in the status  at Gold Mtn?

Thanks,
Bill
