Winlink Gateway online

My Winlink gateway is back online with my new W5QU callsign and an upgraded setup - it's operating dual Vara FM Wide mode and AX.25 Packet on 145.030MHz.

Formerly it was Packet only (or Vara FM only), a limitation on having to use a serial port for PTT and only one application can bind to the serial port at a time.

It's now using a DRA-50 interface connected to a Kenwood TM-733A using the CM108 soundcard GPIO PTT capability.

I'm currently sharing the channel with K5COW-10 (hope they don't mind). It's a decently close station I was able to do testing and audio calibration with, and it will give local clients two different gateways to connect to on the same frequency with some overlapping footprint.
