This project is the supertarget of other projects:
- Turn a Fonera router into a link station. My Fonera router will be the link transceiver station on the DL8RDS side.
- Upgrade an ASUS WL-500gP to control my RIG. I am running two ASUS routers: One to control my DL8RDS rig and the other to control the DB0MHB rig.
