HSMM-MESH Access Point Construction

With the help of several people, lead by Kip, AE5IB, a number of amateurs in the North Texas Area began the process of construct equipment and planning for a network of HSMM-MESH nodes.  The system would would be feed from a number of locations, but one of the primary points of distribution would be the Plano Amateur Radio Klub (PARK) repeater site.  With a omni-directional gain antenna on an 180 foot water tower in Allen we expected a good coverage area.  It was determined that the HSMM-MESH software used by the Austin area ham organization would be a great starting point.  Below are a number of pages detailing the construction an operation of the some parts of the system.

More information to come.  I currently own a ID-1 and a ID-800.  I am still attempting to better learn how to operate the radios.
