Greetings again
Maybe I am just not reading the instructions correctly but do you need a special board pluged into your computer to simply listen to a repeater on the network? Larry ve3fxq |

The main thing Larry, is that you have to have a special lack of intelligence that allows you to get on the Internet and call it "Ham Radio" just because some moron has hooked his radio up to the Internet.

I really do get a kick out of those who think that
NOT using radio is somehow progress in the USE of radio! The display of ignorance is quite amazing. -- ...

That's right Gene... When the facts do not support your pet position or
protocol, you can always go for the mindless personal attacks.

In article ,
says... Charles, I see that you don't much care for progress....or are you just always ornery...bet those who used smoke signals felt the same way when more modern forms of communication came along. snippety As ornery as Charles' reply was (yes, it could have been phrased much better) he does have one valid point: 'Internet' and 'Ham Radio' are two entirely different mediums. Always have been, always will be. IRLP, as I see it, is just a way to get repeater linking done independent of the restrictions of site-based link transceivers. After all, the 'L' in IRLP does stand for 'Linking.' In short: IRLP has its uses, but it will never replace true radio work. -- Dr. Anton Squeegee, Director, Dutch Surrealist Plumbing Institute (Known to some as Bruce Lane, KC7GR) kyrrin a/t bluefeathertech d-o=t c&o&m Motorola Radio Programming & Service Available - http://www.bluefeathertech.com/rf.html "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" (Red Green) |
