AX.25 is a protocol based on the X.25 protocol and uses amateur radio call signs for addresses. It is efficient for low bandwidth, lossy environments, such as VHF/UHF radio. This makes it ideal for access to the packet BBS network from anywhere in Santa Clara County. The use of VHF/UHF radio means RF coverage throughout the county is good enough for most locations to reach at least two of the packet BBS systems.
AX.25 over VHF/UHF Amateur Radio can be used to access the following SCCo ARES/RACES service:
User Access
BBS Forwarding
Santa Clara County ARES/RACES Packet Training Classes
Covers everything from assembling and using an existing station up through building your own station and using advanced BBS features.
A discussion/e-mail group is available for SCCo ARES/RACES members interested in packet networking.
