Kantronics 9612 (Dual Port) Hi speed TNC¡¯S need to be run at a Com Port speed of 19200 or faster
remember you need to communicate with the TNC faster then the over the air speed is, 9600 Baud
would be slow for the Dual Port TNC.
?
SPEED=19200
?
This is the MODE Command out of Kiss mode must be set in both bpq32.cfg & the TNC
with a Comport speed of only 9600 Baud Ports A & B may not function correctly
?
See the Kantronics Manual for the MODE B & P commands
?
I also use SOFT CD (For open Squelch)

Re: Kan 9612+ help #llinbpq

 

Success! Using the params provided by Jay WS7I, I have blinking lights on the TNC now, time to connect the radio!
Thanks every one who helped.

This may be a dumb question, but do the panel LEDs on the TNC still blink when in KISS mode, ie. I'm expecting the xmit/rev Con/Sta LED's to light up when a connection is made, packet is sent/recved right??

I'm not seeing any activity on the LEDs of the TNC, so I'm assuming that the kiss comms is not working...

Re: Kan 9612+ help #llinbpq

 

IOADDR made no difference, my guess is it is something for windows....

not sure what the IOADDR=8 does, but will try adding that and see if it works.
Thanks for the config!

mh flags

 

I've looked through the docs to see if the flags shown after call-signs in the heard list are defined anywhere but I'm drawing a black.

Can anyone remind me of what the + and . mean in this example? What other flags are possible?

Re: Kan 9612+ help #llinbpq

 

Hi Ken,
I removed the TNC Port section and set channel to A, but still no go, but at least the errors went away...???
So making some progress.
Been doing packet for many years, have always set my TNC's to 4800, and should be ok here as I'm only planning to use the low speed port for now,
that may change in the future.?
Yes I set the TNC to kiss using INTF KISS and then a RESET command.

Guy,

I am available on 14.105 most days from sunrise until the band goes out.? You can access my mailbox at K0WL-1,and could also use my Ka-Node K0WL-7 for linking to other stations.? I am located in central Iowa, USA running 100 watts to a 43' vertical and a Kantronics TNC.??

Jim, Did you set the TNC into KISS mode? BPQ-32 does all the processing work.

The TNCPORT section applies to the TNC Emulator feature, so applying the same serial port there may be causing a problem, but I'm not sure about that.
