We have gone through a few iterations on our hybrid Winlink node. In this video we will describe how our our Winlink node is setup and why we needed to upgrade the audio.
We will also walk through the process of putting together the DRA-36 kit. Sometimes kits can be a bit intimidating to people so hopefully us walking through the build of the kit can relieve some anxiety of putting the kit together.

They have other audio interfaces as well: https://masterscommunications.com/products/radio-adapter/dra/dra-index.html
