Tonight I’m calling in a Ringer – Bob Plank from 73 Outdoors (https://www.youtube.com/@BobPlank_KK4DIV) is going to help us get on the air (or not) with this jank setup I’ve got going on here.

Oh, and Jim has a new Pakratt as well, we’ll take a look at that.

👉 If you want to get in on the fun, you can find these Pakratt’s for just about every computer system made (BYO Cable?) on ebay: https://geni.us/eIkDC7n

The 2024-09-04 Firmware Update "No Transmit" failure has a fix now thanks to all y’all!

Grab the previous version of the firmware, use Etcher (https://etcher.balena.io/) and go clean!

Word is not in yet if you can use Etcher with the 9/4 version and have everything work, I’ll let you know what I hear!

Last week we tried the most obscure TNC we could find – the AEA/Timewave PKT-1 – apparently one of only 3 in existence. Today we’re going more mainstream with the Kantronics KPC-3 and the AEA/Timewave PK-233MBX.

Let’s do some troubleshooting!

👉 Skip all this nonsense and order a pre-made cable: https://geni.us/DqhMz
