====== Building / running a node ======

There are many ways to run a node. Here are some.

===== LinBPQ on Pi =====

Tom will write up the setup he uses for GB7RDG here. For now, [[https://gist.github.com/M0LTE/37c02b17c61b9c3d517e022879c36101|here's the config file]].

===== TARPN =====

TARPN is a prescriptive formula which builds on G8BPQ in order to achieve a certain network topology and very good throughput at the expense of dedicated point to point links, rather than point to multi-point, so more radios.

They have installation scripts for the Raspberry Pi.

====== Node licensing in the UK ======

If you're sitting next to it, you can do what you want under your own callsign.

If you're planning something unattended for unknown third party use, a-la a voice repeater, you'll need an NoV. These are easy to get but do require some forethought. More to come on this.
