[HamWAN PSDR] Second dish/radio with same credentials

[Steve Stroh]

It's pretty common to have a loaner dish to demonstrate HamWAN to
those that have no direct experience with it.

It's quite the showstopper at events such as field day and other public events.

We have our portable dishes configured exactly same as our fixed dishes.  However, be aware that since we only use HamWan for emcomm we do not typically have our dishes turned on except in emergencies, occasional Winlink tests, SET exercises, etc.  And when we do that it is only the fixed location dish or the portable, so I haven’t actually tested them both on and connected to the same sector node.  Offhand, I can’t see why that wouldn’t work, as the IP addresses are assigned via DHCP and I would think that the HamWan system would be agnostic about everything else.
