Green Bay Professional Packet Radio is our attempt at an advanced wireless communication research team.  Based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, we have banded together a small group of specialized residents who strive for the advancement of modern forms of electromagnetic wave communication.  We specialize in high-speed wireless data (packet), digital voice transmissions, ELINT/EW/ECM, radar, antenna design, bi-phase modulation and also the hardware/software side of all those types of communication.

    We are die-hard radio homebrewers and experimenters.  While other people are drooling on nothing more than glorified ice cream truck 2-way radios and PL-259 connectors, we are out using new and efficient modulation techniques and pioneering new developments in modern radio.  We've also homebrewed microwave radio bi-directional amplifiers for the local packet radio links, circular polarized repeater antennas, high quality audio hardware and all types of RF test equipment.

    Modeled from the concepts originated by Clarence 'Kelly' Johnson (of Lockheed Martin Skunk Works fame), we attempt to push the boundries of modern radio and antenna technology.  Using common off-the-shelf components, old VCRs, cellular phones, lots of trips to Radio Shack and, of course, well established theory.  We will always forge on.  Building and testing new designs while quietly ignoring anyone who tells us something is not possible.
