The Challenge

The Challenge that is on everyone’s mind tends to end up dealing with financial requirements to maintain focus on the ideas and goals that a group and individual needs to accomplish. We are in that same situation as well, we need to have financial support in order to maintain the web site as well as necessary broadband connectivity.

Through the years there have been many that have asked how to hook up Asterisk PBX and RF Gateway servers and then tie these resources in with DARPA and DSTAR along with other technology resources. We are happy that we are able to assist in getting resources online and operational. Yet the cost to do the research and provide fixed infrastructure has a price tag to it that a single individual or just a couple of people shouldn’t have to cover the cost for everyone else. Yes, funds are indeed tight and they may end up being tighter from the way things are going in the “halls of leadership.”

When many come together and share the cost the overall burden is lighten, as it has been proven in the past when many work together for a common good (via cooperative efforts) the cost do indeed go down for everyone. And quality of service can improve to the point that technology development and training can progress too.

So the challenge that I present to you is to consider donating to ALERTradio ERC and Asterisk Radio Networks. Your help is greatly appreciated.

DARN is near

The Digital Analog Radio Network is near.

DARN defined as “to mend by weaving thread across a gap” that is what is being done. Those that want to see flexibility will go with the DARN approach, as a improvement while there will be others that find it to be just annoyance. DARN definitely fits the new Digital Analog Radio Networks.

Sometimes logic can indeed be simple (send in most potentially linkable exchange).
