Are you looking to get back in to packet radio in 2026?
“Forget all that you know or think you know.” ― Wayland Drew, Willow (good movie, even better book)
Okay, okay, maybe it isn't that extreme but a lot has changed recently.
Can I still use my old packet radio gear?
Of course you can. If you still remember the old arcane ways then please join us again!
But a better question is, “Should you continue to use your old gear?”. If your old packet gear is hardware based you will see great improvements moving to packet radio software and soundcards. The new packet radio software is more capable, has more features, and require less tweaking than hardware does.
What software I need to join in packet radio?
Download the latest versions of Soundmodem and Easyterm from https://uz7.ho.ua/packetradio.htm
Where can I find packet radio activity?
Visit HF and Robust Packet Frequency List for a list of frequencies.
I've have luck on the following frequencies…
