Direwolf <> AEA PK88

144.800Mhz @ 1200Baud (Test on 03-29-20 11:00 (rx only)) Today I did a reception test with the AEA PK88 and Direwolf. I must say that I am impressed with the PK88. This is the best test I have done so far. Now the conditions were not optimal, there is very little traffic at the time. So I will probably test it again at a busier time. Even now I let the reception run for half an hour. So we missed 19 packets out of a total of 211 packtes from Direwolf. This compared to the tnc3s that missed 73 out of 219 packets from Direwolf. Below again the TNC3s comparison with Direwolf. It is nice to see that this AEA PK-88 performs so well after all these years and different owners. The last week I save all the Aprs traffic I receive and post it on a blog. You might like to take a look there. https://pd9q.blogspot.com

Direwolf

Dire Wolf is a software “soundcard” AX.25 packet modem/TNC and APRS encoder/decoder. It can be used stand-alone to observe APRS traffic, as a tracker, digipeater, APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate) In the early days of Amateur Packet Radio, it was necessary to use an expensive “Terminal Node Controller” (TNC) with specialized hardware. Those days are gone. You can now get better results at lower cost by connecting your radio to the “soundcard” interface of a computer and using software to decode the signals.

Nieuwe firmware

Vandaag de pk-88 van Roland PD2RLD voorzien van een frisse eprom. Dit modem kan nu weer gewoon in kiss gebruikt worden. Leuke van Roland zijn pk-88 is dat er een dcd printje in zit, iets wat ze standaard niet hebben! Als bedankje mocht ik de oude eprom houden met wa8ded firmware, deze had ik nog niet voor de pk-88 dus daar was ik weer erg blij mee 🙂
