New Regulations for Hams in Norway

Amateur radio operators in Norway have a number of new regulations including a new entry-level license, "begrenset lisens." Remote control limitations have been lifted, specifically the limitation over remote operation in Norwegian overseas territories. The 23cm band now more closely adheres to CEPT recommendations.

More details are available from Föreningen Sveriges Sändareamatörer.

IP400 Project Marks Halfway Point

The following is a compilation of updates from ADRCS regarding the IP400 Project.

[The IP400 Project has reached the halfway point], the hardware development is complete, as well as the research phases for proof of concept. We are now at the point where we will be doing limited production runs for the various hardware components, and the rest of the development effort from here on it will be mostly in firmware and FPGA development.

The outputs from the development effort are many and varied, there will be a new outdoor 400MHz node with an integrated power amplifier, an AllstarLink upgrade to add OFDM data modes to existing repeater systems, as well as an OFDM TNC for standalone use, all nodes supporting high speed data as well as an AX.25 compatible KISS mode.

The project development continues on three fronts:

  • Node Hardware
  • Firmware
  • New Modes

Node Hardware
The mini-node has been revised to add a POE ethernet adapter, making it now a three board stack instead of two. The 5W power amplifier has been designed, pre-production units will be available soon. The supernode prototype has been built, and the design for the production version and TNC OEM board is complete. Both are pending prototype builds.

Firmware
The unified firmware platform is in development, and pending successful testing, will be released for beta testing with Mode A only on the WL33 platforms shortly.

New Modes
Development of Mode B is ongoing and is looking very promising. Mode C will be available later this year.
