Product information "New Packet Radio NPR-H 2.0"

New Packet Radio Modem Version 2.0

for long-range 70cm band HAMNET connections with up to 7W output Power. 

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).
  • Transparent TCP bridge over 70cm
  • 100% Open-Source Firmware
  • Special modulation and codes to operate in Germany with 100 kbps
  • Already many NPR master nodes in operation
