My immediate area is out of nominal range of an iGates so I have been thinking about putting one together myself. I think I'd like to start as receive only and then make it a digirepeater later. It has taken me a while to figure out the steps but I think I'm also to the point of committing. My question is about hardware. I was thinking about just buying a cheap 2m radio as it would be dedicated to that purpose. What are your feelings about the Kenwood TM-281A?
Also for a TNC would the Signalink SLUSBRJ1 be appropriate? No where does it specifically states it supports AX.25.
Last question is that the computer I am planning to hook this up to I am already using to stream a radio reference feed. As the TNC acts as an external soundcard via USB does this allow me to run both with the same computer. (It is a Dell XPS running Windows XP).
Thank you!
