These are the high level steps to build your very own 1-port TARPN node. Some steps link out to a more detailed guide, since this page is your one-stop overview.
- Build or buy a NinoTNC (about ~$40 in parts)
- Buy the PCB on Etsy, and necessary components. Then follow these detailed construction steps.
- Or ask if you can buy an assembled NinoTNC from an existing TARPN member, who often have spares.
- Acquire an appropriate VHF or UHF radio
- Most TARPN members buy inexpensive used commercial radios by reprogramming them for ham radio frequencies.
- Here are eBay searches for some popular models known to work with TARPN:
