I >get an I/O error - the computer doesn't seem to be contacting the TNC. I've been using a KAM with APRS 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05a with minimal difficulty. I use the TAPR option when starting APRS. It is a little tricky to make sure you're on the right stream and using the right alias. I set MYALIAS ECHO/RELAY. Also be sure to set your UNPROTO path for each port. These have to be set using CTRL-T so you c an enter the commands directly to the TNC. As to why you get the I/O error, I don't really know. If you've been using a program such as KaGOLD or Hostmaster, make sure they put the TNC back into command mode before they exit. ------------------------------ Date: 2 May 94 02:29:26 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!newsrelay.iastate.edu!news.iastate.edu!eng1.iastate.edu!dlakelan@network.ucsd.edu Subject: ax.25 error checking To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Other than trying to get the ISO standards publication, which probably costs an arm and a leg, how can I find out how to calculate the CRC or whatever it is that ax.25 uses for error checking? thanks -- =============================================================================== | Daniel Lakeland.

It is my understanding that G-TOR is proprietary to Kantronics, and therefore anyone wanting to include it would have to pay for it, if that option was even available, which I very much doubt, as their whole prpose in introducing something proprietory is to make themselves the only source for it. Apple did the same thing with the Mac (and others) while IBM left theirs essentially open. If Apple had done differently, the Mac would have easily taken over from the PC... Sorry for the bad news, but Pactor ia also very good, and keyboard-to-keyboard, you would never know the difference anyway.

I would Richard, the TEKK radios work great for 9600 bd UHF. I have two of them. One is used on a TexNet node, one here at home. I know of at least 3 others that are being used at node sites around north TX and OK. The radio is only 2 watts but works quite well with an amp. Here's the scoop on TEKK Inc. TEKK INC. 226 N.W.
