Took some packet system redoing and work, but I am happy to announce that #hamstr now works great on 1200 baud packets FM using 2 cheap handheld radios and small USB audio interfaces!

Range is very limited on handhelds, maybe 5-8 miles, but great proof of concept. Fantastic for off-grid fast deployment no grid client needs.

HF 300-600 baud packets radio and VHF/UHF 1200 Baud working.

Will do a bit more testing and tweaking then merge the changes.

Using 2 50watt mobile ham radios and small 2m/70cm antennas and you should be able to use hamster at ranges of 15-30 miles with line of sight.

A great alternative to the current HF only system!
