AREDN® Channel Planning (updated)
Переглядів 4823 роки тому
This video gives a basic introduction to the importance of channel planning when deploying a large AREDN® mesh network. It may appeal more to amateur radio operators who already have some experience with AREDN® radios, but the basic principles for how these radios communicate with each other might be of interest to anyone.

The USB150 is discontinued . The GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2(Mango) Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket VPN WiFi Router - Access Point/Extender/WDS | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports looks promising. Please update.
The sending of computer files via amateur radio seems to be against the amateur radio rules in the US at minimum. as the transmission (message content) cannot monitored during transmission by a third party. Sending plain text is likely OK.
Just the right info I was searching for.
Just getting into AREDN and mesh networking, The GL--AR150 seems to be no longer available. Can the AR300M16 perform all the tasks shown in the video? TIA
Yes it should also do everything in this list.
Well done presentation. Unfortunately the device appears to be no longer available.
Great video, thanks!
Great video Steve, thanks for posting
Thanks for the video!. this is an excellent explain for LQM system. LU4EOU
I apologize if this is a really dumb question, but how does ARDEN know the SNR? DE WA1KLI
@@AB7PA Thank you. Following up, is the wireless driver in the kernel unique to ARDEN or a part of a generic UNIX system?
Thanks for the video! I'm trying to start a cluster on my city... I'm alone for now (actually building my node) but trying to learn as much as I can!
Excellent Steve, thank you very much for the video. LU4EOU
Great video! Do you have a replacement for the AR150? Not to ease to find now in 2022! Thanks in advance de VE3EAD Edit: Is the GL-AR300M16 a good replacement?
AR300M16 works and is close in price.
@@AB7PA thansk
Thanks for providing this very clear and thought-provoking intro. 73 N1ACW
Glad it was helpful!
I tried the project N° 5 using one AR150 on -2 Channel 5MHz B.W. and one LDF-2nD on -1channel 5MHz B.W., but the 2 nodes can't connect via DtD Link.
Thanks! This answered one of my questions about the 150... can it be plugged into a USB power pack and run without a laptop, thanks! de W7REA
Thanks for the video. Happened to find it the same day I ordered a AR150 so lots of experiments coming up. 73's
Hope you enjoy it!
As I mention in the video, I deliberately oversimplified the topic of VoIP call quality by focusing only on the number of network hops. Recently Mark N2MH shared a great comment: "Packet loss is an important metric because actual speech fragments are lost forever. In my experience, you can almost hold a conversation at 5% loss, 10% becomes a guessing game, and 15% is useless." One way to estimate the packet loss is to use the PING tool discussed in this video. It displays both latency and packet loss.
Hello from Yucca Valley. W6BZY here. Definitely on my todo list. Excellent video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent and very clear video. Mikrotik SXT is a very good unit for Aredn use. LU4EOU
Excellent primer for those of us in "crowded" AREDN RF areas. 73 KM6TRZ
Thanks, Don!
Great ideas and thank you for the insight and useful video!
Glad it was helpful!
i guess it's quite off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Jairo Jaxon Lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
I have two AR150 with AREDN software , They work Excellent!
Nice 👍
