- I have run a PK88 on a club BBS running TNOS for over two years. The only
- caviat you need to be aware of is that the PK88 SEEMS to need a L-O-N-G
- TXDELAY and at least a NOMINAL TXTAIL. About 30-35 on TXDELAY and 20 on
- TXTAIL, at least that is what is working for me.
-
- Also, all units that must talk to it need these parameters a little
- looser that with other units.
-
- Other than that, works fine and lasts a long time.
