Winlink 2000 Roadmap for the Future
Posted by electrocality as Training at 8:50 AM MDT
The attached file is a PDF version of a document that gives some great insight into the future of the Winlink 2000 system. In particular there are considerations given to the nature of Winlink’s use for EmComm purposes. It’s a good read, though it’s not necessarily a great starting point if you are just coming up to speed with Winlink’s design and use.

First there’s a long-overdue review of the Kenwood D7A(g) Handi-Talkie. I don’t have a clue why it took them about 6 years to review a radio that’s been on the shelves since 2001, but it’s a good review nonetheless. Though they refer readers back to the original Kenwood D7A review from 2000 for general specifications on the radio, they go into some depth talking about the upgraded (g) features which are really for packet and APRS use anyway.
