<DIV>I have 433.900 in an HT memory. I haven't looked into these carefully, but ...

<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal>I’m impressed with the 500 mw transceivers on 433 MHz costing $20 or so and operating at 9600 baud.</DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal>Why don’t we call this APRS-B (plan B). And start paralleling our network with these devices.</DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal> </DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal>Then instead of only 5% of hams having APRS capability, we could get more people in the clubs to own a device and also to put one up at home so we have a backup data channel as well?</DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal> </DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal>Maybe lots of you are doing this alrady and I am the last one to the party. But whatever we do, lets standardize on something so we are all headed in the same direction.</DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal> </DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal>These are wideband devices, so they are not compatible with any existing APRS or other ham FM radios. That is why it is a fresh start. What is the sync and key up time?</DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal> </DIV>
<P class=yiv1965445507MsoNormal>Sure the range of 500mw is small, but at only 10% of the cost of a digi we can put them at more and closer places and even solar power them.</DIV>
