I am researching a prototype that appears to have similar requirements. Things I am interested in include data rates, encoding and modulation schemes, command protocols, etc. Any info will be appreciated. I can be reached by email at lott@phase4.iquest.com.

This interface has been tested on Com1 with Hffax. When using Hamcom (a RTTY program), there is no response to the input signal. The screen functions seem ok but there is no signal shown on the Tuning scope or the Spectrum display. I have tried all kinds of port defintions and designations in the config file of the program to get the program to recognize the port and come alive. I got this program from a BB called AA5S. Can someone tell me if there is a trick that I am missing or if the program may be deactivated and only a demo screen. If there is a way to get a good copy of this please let me know. The author of the program is in Germany.

Levels are fine as it comes from the factory. I have not used the 9600 baud port yet, however ( It is a separate hookup on the connector). I hope this was of some help. 73, Bob K5SM ------------------------------ Date: 19 Jul 1994 15:39:46 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!news.tamu.edu!cs.tamu.edu!kurt@network.ucsd.edu Subject: LINUX, 9600, TCPIP!

Although a BNC connector is rather obvious, you may No kidding!!! Although the service manual is suspect. It says put in 50mV of signal and adjust for 3.5 khz deviation. We put in 500mV and got the right deviation. 50mV is not enough to tickle the thing. > on the TEKK Mini, before you try and do anything with it, remove > Capacitor C18.
