I need information on basic netrom chip burning. I have all the
paperwork on TheNet X-1J Release 2 but they do not say how to burn
basic EPROMS. I have sent my $15 to the North East Digital Assn,
Manchester NH for their TheNet X-1J network guide but nothing
received yet. I'm more than a little miffed at the lack of help
by a certain SYSOP on the Northern Calif DX Packet network.
Any help on getting started will be greatly appreciated.

I run (not simultaneously, of course :-) both a PK-900 and a KAM Plus
into the FSK connector of a Yaesu FT-990 both for PACTOR and straight
RTTY. No problem whatsoever.
The advantages of going this route, instead of injecting tones through
LSB are 1) the filters in the rig are properly centered, without
fiddling with passband tuning, to where the PACTOR controller wants
to see the signal, and 2) you won't accidentally have the speech
processor turned on and splatter whatever tiny RTTY subband we have.
Nothing wrong with your Omni V at all for PACTOR work. I also own
an Omni-V. Notice that the Omni performs FSK by frequency shifting
an RF oscillator, whereas a rig such as the FT-990 injects the output
from an internal AFSK oscillator into the LSB modulator. The religious
can dance on the head of a pin as to which scheme is superior :-).

Hello,
due to lack of information on AEA's DSP2232 (e.g. SSTV) I started
a mailing list on this gear :-).
If you would like to subscribe write to:
dsp2232-request@rmi.de
with "subscribe" in the subject.
If you would like to contribute information, please write to
dsp2232@rmi.de
I hope, information (and users) will start soon.
Regards,

For DOS stuff, I would take a look at oak.oakland.edu, /pub/msdos. This
is one of the primary Simtel mirror sites, and has a lot of DOS stuff.
For Windows, try ftp.cica.indiana.edu. I don't know the directory
structure on this one, however.
Hope it helps...

Sounds like you have the "X-on/X-off" terminal data flow setting on. Try
turning it off and also set your computer for hardware flow control (aka
"RTS/CTS"). If all else fails, clear the memory in the PK232 by removing
power from the unit, then remove the battery jumper. Wait at least 60
seconds before you replace the jumper. If that does not cure the problem
and you are SURE that your cable is good, call AEA.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
I'm wondering if anyone has ported the PI2 drivers to the latest
ka9q. It does not seem hard, but I figure why do the work if someone
else has already taken care of it. If anyone else is interested in this
send me a message and I'll mail you the replies I get. If there are
many, I'll post reponses.

I have a friend who run's KaGold with a KAM+ and Likes it very much.
It supports PACTOR/RTTY/AMOTOR/ (GTOR I think) and PACKET !
I have used a version of it called TESTDRIVE for VHF PACKET and like it
But the TNC I use HAs some Limititions using Kagold.(KPC3).
I think that you KaGold is a good Choice.

I am looking for recommendations for software for the KAM Plus. My
primary interest is HF communications modes, PACTOR/RTTY/AMTOR/GTOR.
I understand Kantronics makes something called Hostmaster II, plus I've
heard mention of a package called KAMGold.
Feedback would be appreciated?

I know of no combination of keys to accomplish KISS mode if it is not
included in the ROM version in the 1270. However, I'm fairly sure you
can still get a new ROM with the KISS command from MFJ.. I did about
a year ago for the same reason. Give them a call and I think they
can solve your problem..
