Did not seem to be a reason to comment as the topic was packet. A group of us have used the 23cm ID-1s in the digital data mode (128kbps) in a local public service event just find the past two years. We used the access point and the user radios to allow operators at out stations to access a web server front end to the event database. Worked fine. In addition we used 2 ID-1s connected to an ethernet switch to serve as a relay for a site that did not have a good direct path. And of course tested two ID-1s as an Ethernet bridge which makes a nice 128 kbps backbone for say 9600 bps packet gateways. As an aside we also had a 9600 bps packet system up as a back up which also worked fine. 73, Tom n4zpt
