RE: Fast scan TV included on the IC-905. Technology Connections YouTube channel recently posted a retro-review of the Sony PCM-701 digital audio processor, a device used for recording 44.1 kHz audio using videotape. For about 20 years the professional version of this device (the Sony 1630) was the standard way to get your studio mix to the CD mastering/production house.

It would be a very clunky work-around but fairly trivial to come up with a video modem. The issue I'd see is that short bursty data wouldn't be very efficient because there'd be a lot of sync and setup before sending data.

Great stuff, Steve, thank you. I'm interested in the Willamette Valley Mesh / AREDN network. I think we'll see it extend up to include the Portland metro area relatively soon, judging from a few conversations heard in club meetings and on the air. And I'm interested in APRS-over-LoRa. I can see utility in having a low-powered APRS network using LoRa devices. Selfishly, I'd put one of these on my boat! Be very well, Tom KJ7T
