RMS Express P2P over VHF/UHF


Getting the software TNC working was in preparation for getting RMS-Express point to point working.   It worked and was very simple.

I used the 441.025 and listened for a few min to make sure no one was using the frequency.

Both sides were set to use 1200 baud packet on the RF side.

Side A was a PC connected to an Icom IC-7100 using a USB cable and that was it.
   On this PC I had the RMS-Express, Direwolf and C7200 software packages running.

Side B was a second PC connected to a Kenwood TH-D72 using a USB Cable
   On this PC only RMS-Express was needed and the builtin software in RMS-Express
   The TH-D72 was set to use the Packet12 TNC (selected using the TNC button on the faceplate)

I set Side A to be KK4SIH-4 and Side B to be KK4SIH-7

On the A side I started up the Packet P2P server inside of RMS Express

On the B side I created a message destined for KK4SIH-4 and clicked on the P2P button before moving it to the outbox.   Then opened a Packet P2P session and hit start.

The message transferred with no issues.   It also worked in reverse.

The next step is to see if I can get 9600 baud working .
