HF PACKET (300 baud) radio is a FSK mode that is an adaption
of the very popular Packet radio used on VHF (1200 baud) FM amateur
radio. Although the HF version of Packet Radio has a much reduced
bandwidth due to the noise levels associated with HF operation,
it maintains the same protocols and ability to "node"
many stations on one frequency. Even with the reduced bandwidth
(300 baud rate), this mode is unreliable for general HF ham communications
and is mainly used to pass routine traffic and data between areas
where VHF repeaters maybe lacking. HF and VHF Packet has recently
enjoyed a resurgence in popularity since it is the protocol used
by APRS - Automatic Position Reporting System mostly on 2 meter
VHF and 30 meter HF.
