Packet Options for Remote Sensing
The problem is that in order to monitor BB from 4 miles away we currently rely on a telephone connection. This has been mostly adequate but does not provide real time casual monitoring of systems. A Radio Link will also allow a remote weather station to monitor environmental data, something that's not possible in the woods at Downing Place.
The options for adding a packet radio consist of the following:
TinyTrak 4
This is a complete send and receive TNC. It's compact and low cost but would require a radio. It's not much different from the Hansen TNC except it's smaller.
- Pro: compact, low power, low cost
- Con: No radio
