Packet Radio has been connecting amateur radio operators digitally for decades, and it continues to offer plenty of opportunities for experimentation, learning and reliable data communications.

Whether you're rediscovering packet radio, building a modern network, or trying it for the very first time, this is the place to discuss all aspects of amateur radio networking.

Topics you might like to post about include:

  • Getting started with Packet Radio.
  • TNCs, soundcard modems and interfaces.
  • Packet nodes and BBS systems.
  • Winlink and message forwarding.
  • TCP/IP over amateur radio.
  • Mesh networking.
  • Networking software and configuration.
  • Raspberry Pi and homebrew networking projects.
  • Troubleshooting packet connections.
  • Building and expanding local packet networks.
Amateur radio has always been about experimenting with new technologies, and digital networking is no exception. Whether you're interested in sending messages, linking stations together, or exploring what's possible with modern hardware and software, there's always something new to discover.

If you're just getting started, don't hesitate to ask questions. Packet radio has a long history, but there are still plenty of active operators who are happy to help newcomers get up and running.

Likewise, if you've built an interesting node, revived an older system, or are experimenting with new networking ideas, we'd love to hear about your projects and experiences.

Share your setups, ask for advice, and help keep the spirit of experimentation alive.

73 and happy networking!
