My C64 Radio Project

[Gray Defender]

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my experience with this kit. Thought it was fun to play around with.

Interesting.

Pretty neat device! Could see where SW would be fun to mess around with too. I know people have sent each other e-mails, programs, etc. (called packeting?) through SW/LW airwaves using PC's. Somehow, be more fun using a vintage computer like the C64, TI and Atari's for stuff like that.

I knew a guy a long long time ago who used his C64 for packet radio. I hear it is still going strong these days but most people have "upgraded" their rigs to Windows machines. I have seen a few packet radio kits for the 64 pop up on eBay over the past year and thought long and hard about grabbing one.

I would use my retrocomputers for packet radio if I could, but generally I don't have a TNC. Closest I've got is my Kenwood which has a soundmodem interface billed as "Echolink compatibility". I still need to consider upgrading my ticket, but ... I can't do HF (antenna nazis and in a steel building.)
