-Before going into more details, it might be worth taking a small detour to learn about SSIDs (the dash number after the callsign) since it has a different meaning depending on whether it's for APRS or Winlink.  See the [[/howto/ssid |SSID How-To]] for more info.+Before going into more details, it might be worth taking a small detour to learn about SSIDs (the dash number after the callsign) since it has a different meaning depending on whether it's for APRS or Winlink.  See the [[/links/ssid |SSID How-To]] for more info.

-  * **Ardop Winlink** is another HF connection to an RMS that doesn't necessarily require a TNC. The IC-7300, for example, can connect to the computer directly with a simple USB cable.  The connection is slower than PACTOR however. For more details, see the [[howto/winlink_ardop |Winlink Ardop]] page.+  * **Ardop Winlink** is another HF connection to an RMS that doesn't necessarily require a TNC.
