Gateway has been installed and is now being tested. The big challenge for the
Gateway installation was to find the best way to provided broadband internet to
the site. ADSL was not possible as the site was just too far away from the local
telephone exchange so the chose was 3G or a 900Mhz RF link to a remote ADSL
service in one of the towns nearby. After some deliberation it was decided to
use 3G. As the 3G connection has limited bandwidth DV-Dongle access to the
VK3RMM Gateway will be limited. There may also be a slight degradation of voice
at the beginning of some local RF transmissions when listening remotely. Thanks
to everyone who assisted in getting the Gateway on-air.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

callsign suffixes. Many operators use a different suffix for each radio, M for
mobile P for portable etc.. ( e.g. VK3UR M or VK3UR P ) This can be confusing
for remote stations and friends when they callsign route to you. They may not
know which radio or callsign you are using at the time and will probably use
your base callsign (VK3UR) to contact you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
