Subject: Get backe to kiss off mode in AEA PK-88 ?
To: [e-mail]

I am testing the version 920603 KA9Q. So I turn on the KISS mode
under Telix program. But now How can I turn off the kiss mode ?

According to the PK-88 manual, section of KISS command.
I need to return from command mode from host mode. How
can I do that ?

Thanks for any pointer

I don't know about the radio link but software that can be used are such
as MacX to get xwindows access,  Fetch for ftp connections, Versaterm or
Macterminal with the MacTCP tool for remote terminal connections.

Subject: Need info ...
To: [e-mail]

I am a novice in packet radio.  I want to know more about setting up a
communication link using packet radio.  I've checked faq - doesn't help much.

My friend lives about 50 km from my home.  His house is not connected by
a telephone line yet (telephone lines are scarce resources in my country).
So using modem is out of the question.  We like to link our PCs using packet
radio instead; he has a call-sign anyway.
My questions:

- What's the feasible range of packet radio, and at what speed ?
- Is it possible for speed > 1200 bps ?   1200 bps seems too slow.  To
  transfer 120 kbytes file will take 20 minutes.
- How much does a TNC cost ?
- Is TNC software controllable ?  I mean, if one frequency is 'noisy'
  then can TNC switch to other frequency automatically (programmable via
  PC) ?
- Some people use CB for longer range (voice).  But I think it is more noisy
  than FM.  Is CB suitable for packet radio ?

Any reference to 'guide to using packet radio' handbook or manual is
appreciated.

Thanks.

SH.

Is there any place on Internet that I can look up IP addresses or get
a list of all the Kentucky IP addresses?

Has anyone had success with the Tekk KS-960 on 9600 baud?  Several of us
bought these new models but have had little success at 9600 baud packet.
They seem to work fine at 1200 baud.  Anyone have some ideas on how to
modify or fix to run at 9600?

Is it possible to use packet radio, and a laptop computer to access the
internet?  Are there gateways set up, or would it be possible to set them
up?

There's a lot of stuff on the Internet that can't legally be sent over
packet.  How do you plan to filter that out before you have a chance to
look at it?

Yup, it's called AMPERNET, or ham's running a NOS type of program.

It is my understanding that this service is 1 Watt ERP, so using a directional
antenna, one must back off the power to stay at or below 1 watt effective
radiated power.

Note that the real intent with the NCR wavelan was to wire up an office space
where cabling was difficult to install. Also note that NCR sells its directional
antenna (a yagi with 75 ohm match) for $1995.00!
