Thank you for the unexpected generosity. I'm impressed. I will take advantage of your stellar customer service. I have attempted all suggestions given in...
Yes Sir Jason; the TNC-X is performing well at the K7ZGN-7 digipeater (as a fill-in digi) at Citronelle, Alabama. Sir John W2FS has provided super service...
We have built and installed 2 TNC-x kits and are using them as APRS and Packet digis at our clubs repeater site VA3RLR. Units are working great. However in...
Mike: I have not had any reports of this type of interference. However, here is a testing protocol that may allow you to isolate the problem: 1. Take the...
Thanks for your comments John. I have done the tests you have suggested and had the results confirmed by another ham operator. In both test steps, I can...
Interesting. This is the first report I've had of this. I guess the usual procedure would be to move the TNC-X as far from the radio as is practical and to...
Hi Mike,

Hello all, I am brand new to the group and figured I'd say hello by asking a question! I have the TNC-X with USB module. I've successfully used the TNC-X with...
Corby, Welcome to the group! I have the same problem. I got one of the first 10-15 kits when they first came out and I know there was a firmware change that...
Okay well that makes me feel a bit better. I just ordered my board though, and other people who have it have gotten it to work. I guess I don't know when my...
Finally getting around to getting some of my TNC-X's on the air. So far the first one is looking good. One minor issue I've noticed though... the impedance of...
Lee, I had a similar issue. R4 at 100 Ohms was fine with my HT (8 Ohm speaker) and FT-1500 (600 Ohm??) however, my TM-D700 (10K Ohm) would not work at all. I...
Ok... silly question time... what software can you use to get the TNC-X to transmit a mark tone, and a space tone, so you can set the deviation properly? I...
Lee, I believe the TNC-X emits a continuous tone when idle (1200 Hz from memory) so all you have to do is ground PTT or press the PTT button on the radio to...
This is an excellent idea Andy, and I hadn't thought of it before. The tone coming out of the modem when the TNC is in receive mode is a low data speed full...
Thanks Andy for the tip... wasn't aware of what the modem chip was doing while idle. As far as you experience with "a zillion radios"... you're going to be ...
Lee, the febo site has been my packet bible for quite a while. I built the "poor mans deviation meter" described on the site and use it to set up all the TNCs...
... Yes, it is a very nice site for some very useful information. Fortunately, I also have an HP8920 at my disposal... so what has been presented there, I have...
It is possible that we are "violently agreeing" and I am not explaining myself properly [grin]. Suffice to say the objective is to ensure that NO tone results...
... Yes, there is definitely that possibility. :) I do concur, as long as when you actually send data, nothing goes over about 3.5 - 4kHz, you should be good...

John, A fellow ARES EC is interested in the TNC-X, he had noticed that it was in kit form. His question, are they offered in pre-assmebled units with or...
Last December I took the pre-assembled ones off the webpage because I was over-run by orders for wired and tested ones and I couldn't keep up. However, things...
I have both mine and a friends TNC-X running great now (thanks John!) anyhow, I am having issues with getting the APRS icons to work properly in the X-Track. I...
I have recently finished my kit with the Digi board option. I am seeing activity but no one can digi through me. It looks and sounds like the TX delay is at...
