As Winlink Gateway i`m using HB9AK from Switzerland on dail 7.050Mhz. HB9AUR (Martin) is the Operator (SysOp) of HB9AK.
I have test the system of Martin with Winmor, Ardop, Robust 300/600. I have a old AEA DSP2232 modem that can make Pactor 1, but i have some issues to get things going.
HB9AK is a big boy with many possibilities. Here a small list.
Technical details of HB9AK (JN36PV, 650 m asl):
QRGs (dial frequency): 3’613.0, 7’050.0, 10’144.4(NB), 14’108.9, 18’114.4, 21’113.5 (NB: narrow band only). Use USB for all QRGs. Center frequency is 1.5 kHz higher than dial frequency.
TRX1 (40m): KENWOOD TS-590S, dipole(N/S); Modes WINMOR, PACTOR(1-4), Robust Packet Radio, ARDOP, VARA
TRX2 (30m): KENWOOD TS-590SG, dipole(N/S); Modes WINMOR(500), PACTOR(1-2), ARDOP
TRX3 (20m): KENWOOD TS-590SG, dipole(N/S) or LogPer; Modes WINMOR, PACTOR(1-4), Robust Packet Radio, ARDOP, VARA
TRX4 (80m/17m/15m): KENWOOD TS-590S, 80m dipole, 17/15m fan dipole; Modes WINMOR, PACTOR(1-4), Robust Packet Radio, ARDOP, VARA
Technical details of HB9AK-1 (JN47LI, 1130 m asl):
TRX5 (10m): ICOM IC-706, vertical dipole; Modes WINMOR, PACTOR(1-4), Robust Packet, ARDOP, VARA
TRX6 (2m): MOTOROLA GM340, X-50; Mode Packet Radio AFSK 1200 Bd, BPSK 1200 Bd, BPSK 2400 Bd, QPSK 2400 bps, QPSK 3600 bps
Technical details of HB9AK-14 (JN46FS, 3020 m asl):
TRX7 (10m): KENWOOD TS-480SAT, Inv-V; Modes PACTOR(1-4), Robust Packet, WINMOR, ARDOP, VARA
I have contacted Martin, and we have been talking for a while about anything and everything. I asked him about his configuration, he found it no problem to share it.
