New Packet Radio Modem Version 1.0 for long-range 70cm band HAMNET connections with 500mW output power and Power over Ethernet (PoE).I was amazed by the work of F4HDK. And as a ham radio guy who was active in packet radio in 1999 and the years beginning of 2000s I wanted to have something faster. HAMNET is nice, but you cannot have that long range transmissions as on 2m or 70cm bands. The NPR-H modem is compatible with F4HDK's firmware and can be used for ham radio guys as a standalone long range communication bridge, entrance to ham radio, bridge between networks, etc.What is New Packet Radio?Bi-directional IP over radio link (no AX.25 despite the name “packet radio”) 70cm Frequency band - much easier to use / reaches longer distances than 2.4GHz or 5.6GHz (Hamnet).

QO-100
Upconverter-H
Please also check QO-100 Upconverter-H from www.wimo.com
The device from
DO5DSH converts a low frequency radio signal to the 13cm (2.4GHz) band and is
suitable for operation via the QO-100 satellite. The frequency band of the
input signal can be selected from 10m, 6m, 2m, 70cm or 13cm. The input power
can be between 10mW and 5W.
No additional mixing signals are required to upconvert
the low frequency IF signals of your ham-radio transceiver. The Localino QO-100
Upconverter-H provides all signals internally via (low ppm) TCXO and high-precision PLL.
The output signal has a high spectral purity; undesired mixing products are
suppressed by additional filters.
The QO-100 Upconverter-H comes in an aluminum housing
including internal passive cooling. All HF connections are SMA sockets. The
power supply should be 10V to 24V, with typically 13.8V or 20V in operation,
depending on desired output power. The current consumption in standby is about
60mA @ 20V, TX operation draws approx. 900mA @ 20V.Application
To become QRV on the QO-100 satellite, a clean RF signal
on the 13cm band is required. An upconverter is used here so that existing ham
radio transceivers can continue to be used. The transmission signal can be
provided by a shortwave or VHF transceiver. The QO-100 Upconverter H from
DO5DSH can be set to the 10m, 2m, 6m, 70cm or 13cm band input by jumper.
The QO-100 Upconverter-H works with a digital HF vox.
Instead of an analogue VOX, a digital VOX ensures that the PA switches reliably
even with low input power and dynamic input levels (such as is usual with SSB signals).
In addition, no separate PTT line is required. The control power should be
between 10mW and 5W. The output power of up to 10W allows you to work directly
with the satellite without an additional amplifier and small antenna dishes.
With the QO-100 Upconverter-H you can also work
with e.g. ADALM PLUTO and 13cm signals, since the device has two 2.4GHz inputs to the amplifier.

CautionEven though the IF input is protected, you should not
overdrive it.
Maximum input power levels must be taken care of!
Measure your power level at the IF Input of the Upconverter-H before operation
(your transceiver TX power at the end of the cable).
Take care of
your SWR (S11, reflectivity) of your 2.4GHz antenna. It must be ensured to
have a good SWR (SWR < 1.9 / S11 < -10 dB). The power amplifier may break
if you operate on bad antenna SWR.
With a typical POTY or helix feed, 80cm
dish antenna and optimal input power levels the RF signal power of the
Upconverter-H can exceed the nominal power level at the QO-100 satellite and
cause LEILA to trigger. In this case, lower the IF input power levels of your
signal or DC supply voltage. Please take care when using QO-100 Upconverter-H.

mounting the QO-100 Upconverter-H as close to the antenna as possible with short RF cables is key. Reduction of cable loss at these high frequencies is of importance. The IP67K enclosure with three cable outlet ports is well proven and resistant to keep your QO-100 Upconverter-H well even in harsh environments.
