Ribbit Digital Text VHF/UHF Ham Radio Tactical Communications

[Rob_Walker]

A presentation on Ribbit by W4CKX is listed on the schedule for the 25-26 March Virtual Ham Expo.  It's probably the same talk as the RATPAC talk Tom posted, so maybe no need to spend the $15US :-)

My understanding with the Ribbit network, you have to have a local Ribbit server (Raspberry Pi) installed on your local repeater (internet required) for retrieval of stored and synchronized text messages across the Ribbit network.  Your cell phone will get the text message out through the cell network, and I believe you can receive a text message across cellular, but it gets trickier when you want to sync data or retrieve archive messages.
