[App_rpt-users] Thinking out loud

[Peter Elke]

Hi Matt,

I use a Verizon MiFi 4510L with the RTCM plugged into a Ubiquiti
PicoNode-2 bridge (with a dummy-load antenna).  I have taken it all over
the US and to Europe.  Works great!  I travel 30-40 weeks a year and I
always have my RTCM and PicoNode-2 (all in a small pelican box).   4G
LTE coverage helps a lot and the low bandwidth has not overrun my
5Gig/month 4G allotment.

If you want to see how it sounds try dialing 27433 (outside of business
hours) and we can have an audio-test QSO.

If the hotspot doesn't have an ethernet port, you'll need something like
the Netgear WNCE2001 wireless bridge to get the RTCM to make the hop.

And if your hotspot is not on an unlimited dataplan (as well as being at
least capable of high 3G or pseudo-4G speeds), you will rapidly eat
through your monthly allotment as well as not being entirely pleased
with the audio quality.

I have the above netgear unit on my remoterig for my TS480 setup, and
while it is useable...it's not 100% reliable, certainly not at the same
level you've come to expect (or not, depending on where and what your
current wired service give you) from a hard link.
