This is a long one, but I wanted to break down everything so even those new to packet radio could understand what is going on. I think it's also important to understand the configuration so that we can adjust it if needed later on.
This is the foundation for everything else we will do packet on this channel.
The installation section covers the install on Linux and Windows. After that, we go into the direwolf.conf file and configure sound devices, as well at PTT. We enable the new FX25 for forward error correction. And then apply some tweaks and optimizations to get you started. Last, we go through troubleshooting various issues you may have.
After this video, you will have a good working TNC that we will use later for APRS, BBS, and TCP/IP over AX25.
