Amateurs are not permitted to broadcast messages of a commercial nature. Even under the relaxation of the rules which ocurred earlier this year, it would be a real nightmare to try to keep out some of the commercial garbage (did you see the ad from the attorneys trolling for business?), and the newsgroups and ircs which deal with sexually explicit material. In short, the technology's available, but the content problem hasn't been solved.

You might want to look at Motorolas new 68360. I think it has a HDLC interface as an option at least. It's a pretty nifty chip, it has a 68K CPU, 4 serial channels, timers, two parallel ports, dynamic ram support, and an onchip RISC CPU to handle all the I/O stuff. I'm not sure about the price, it's probably something like $150. Call Motorola and ask. / Krister --- Krister Lagerstrom (Undergrad.

The ability to operate 1200 and 9600 baud simultaneously is a big plus. May not be important to you, but it's really like having two independent modems in one box. For 9600 baud, they all require precise deviation adjustment. You're also not likely to run 9600 baud with your HT (not a trivial mod). I see another radio in your future :-) -- Nigel Kirlew, N4TKC anto@gate.net ------------------------------ Date: 13 Sep 94 08:41:59 GMT From: news-mail-gateway@ucsd.edu Subject: MAXON 4020N and 9600 To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Hi Has anyone got a MAXON 4020N UHF txer working on 9600?

Work fine but I plan to purchase a small TNC (bacause I wan to be able to use it on mobile) like kamtronic KPC-3 1200/300 bds TNC. Does some one have experience about making packet radio with TPK v1.81 and the KPC-3 TNC ? Told me about your experiences or about what you've listen about that. I prefer you send me reply by e-mail to jcmonier@muguet.saclay.cea.fr because I not able to read news the next week (from Sept 12 to Setp 17) because NNTP server down. Thanks per advance.

Seems like to be useful, users would need to have live connections to the Internet which aren't all that common. Another way might be via IRC (Internet Relay Chat) which allow users to connect to an IRC server when interested, and look for a channel called DX or some such. Using IRC would mean that anyone with a cheap interactive account could use it, it could be used both for talking and listening and there would be no need to write any significant software (someone could get started with any simple terminal program).
