PK-96 TheNet
Node
Option
Timewave's PK-96
can now be a component in a TheNet network
at
1200
or 9600 bps.
The TheNet
capa-
bility of the PK-96 allows node-builders
to add a 9600 bps
port
to an
existing
mountain-top network
quickly
and easily.
The PK-96
you
have
right now is able to
connect to a TheNet
network
at l200bps. Being able to connect to
a TheNet network
allows a
packet
user on one fiequency to connect with a network located on a hill and
communicate with other
packet
users on
different frequencies. The network allows users to communicate
with
people
they otherwise
couldn't because of
geographic
obstacles. The network also allows cross-fre-
quency
communication
so all users can communicate with each other in
one
forum, regardless
of
frequency.
Dave Roberts,
G8KBB, has written a version
of TheNet X1J specially designed for the PK-96. The PK-96
can now
be a connected
part
in
the
network.
A special version
of
TheNet is
available fbr the
PK-96. This
means
that
network
builders
can add a 9600 bps
port
to an existing mountain-top network
quickly.
All
the
benefits
associated with using a network have
been available at 1200
bps
for
quite
a
while,
but
now they
are
available
at 9600 bps. Once a PK-96 is installed
in a network, all
9600 bps users can
find
others
to commu-
nicate with in
one forunr.
