Has #Wimo (or #Yaesu) gone crazy???

I ordered a bundle of ten 4.433619MHz xtals (for 1.2€).

Can you guess what they will be used for? 😉

Tip 1: it is related to #amateurRadio

Tip 2: it is related to an old very popular "thing" a lot of #ham (at least in Europe) owned in the 90's

In 2021, the german #DARC received 179,690€ from the #ARDC to correct and update the #Linux #AX25 #packetradio #kernel stack.

https://www.ardc.net/apply/grants/2021-grants/grant-fixing-the-linux-kernel-ax-25/

Since that day, NOTHING is available anywhere. The dedicated web site (linux-ax25.org) is non-existant and all about this project (and the money) vanished.

Has anyone any information about the status of this project? Where is the code? Where the money went?

Small tip if you intend to put "isolated" (far from a PCB) LEDs on the front plate of an #electronic #project enclosure: plugging them into a #dupont female connector. The contact is excellent, it is removable, and much cleaner (imho) than soldering wires directly to the leads.

Just casually playing with old #ham #msdos #packetradio software #GraphicPacket, my favorite in the 90's, in a #DosBoxX window.

I'm thrown 30 years back and thrilled to have managed to make it work with a #KISS modem and #TFKISS resident driver (a NordLink TNC2 "TheFirmware" emulator for MSDOS).

Btw, I am preaparing some real hardware (Pentium 233) to make that work on, with a legendary 1200 bauds packet-radio #BayCom modem...
