Currently it's located at my qth at about 400 meters asl, but still in a small valley up in the mountains close to Hardangervidda. A lot of amateurs work to expand the APRS network in western Norway - Vestlandet!<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"> he_track = "LA3MAA-1"; // track this callsign </script><br /><script src="http://aprs.fi/js/embed.js" type="text/javascript"> </script><br /><br /><i>Active aprs-map embedded from APRS.FI!</i><br /><br />The installation is based on <a href="http://wiki.ham.fi/Aprx.en">APRX by by Matti Aarnio, OH2MQK, version 2.02.</a><br />It's running on a ASUS WL500GP V2 with <a href="https://openwrt.org/">OpenWRT</a> as the operating system. The TNC is a <a href="http://wiki.argentdata.com/index.php/OpenTracker%2B">OpenTracker + SMT</a> integrated into the ASUS box, and for the moment connected to my Kenwood TM-V71A radio running 10W at 144.800 Mhz.<br /><br />The ASUS box is linked into my wireless network, and to APRS-IS. The TM-V71A will be replaced with a dedicated radio and the installation will be packaged professionaly with some backup power in the next month.<br /><br />Network routers like the ASUS can serve as a very efficient plattform for installations like this, the total cost for the installation is close to USD 100 not taking the radio and the work into account.<br /><br />Interested in setting up one for your self or your group? I will post detailed descriptions here soon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7417598629069575030-5586429518104185461?l=blog.terjeh.net' alt='' /></div>Terjehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142318599211381400noreply@blogger.com0
