So after six tries because it is early and I simply can¡¯t type (and I have learned Linux is very unforgiving on typing!) I got the following:
?
Using Serial Port /dev/serial0?
retrying
?
and a presentation of the parameters.??
?
Now at least I know they are talking to each other ?

I am not sure why it worked but it did.? I am going to presume that somehow the putty connection to the pi was using the serial port?? Although how it still connects (as does VNC) confuses me ¨C but no matter.

The obvious next question is where do I go from here for reading about how to configure and use this board?
First, you'll also need to use the raspi-config utility to enable the console serial port, but disable console login.
?
Run "sudo raspi-config"
?
Then go to menu 5, Interfacing Options, then menu P6, and disable the login shell over the serial port.
?
On the next screen, keep the serial port enabled.
?
Save these and finish.
?
Now try "sudo pitnc-getparams /dev/serial0 0"
?
This works the same with the TNC-Pi2 or the TNC-Pi9k6 and will be the same with the TNC-Pi3 once MFJ starts selling them.

First I am an operator and not a technician.? I can follow directions and to some extent do enough to get myself in trouble.? Having said that I purchased a TNC9k6 and have it running wiht a Raspberry PI 3B+.? Followed directions at (downloaded the pitnc files, set them in the directory and set permission to execute by owner.? Verified with ls -l that all permissions and owner/group ids as well as my logge din user are all setup per the text.
when I run the ./pitnc_getparams /dev/serial0 0 - I get the notation that RPi is using Serial 0 then Com Open Failed: permission denied.
I'm at a loss.? Searching here provides a slew of comm errors dated years back that are not trying serial but? ./pitnc_getparams 0 0 - when I try that it defaults to a TTY device (AAM0?) and simply repeats "retrying" which purportedly means a configuration issue.? But what configuration it is straight out of the setup - I've tweaked nothing in the RPI configuration.
