Old school packet radio

W2LPC Member Profile All Messages By This Member #9515 Hello all. I have two PK-232MBX units and I'd like to bring them back to life. Does anyone know if there is software out there that will support these units on Windows 10? I only wish to run 2m packet with these. Thank you all in advance. Lou, W2LPC.
Rob Giuliano All Messages By This Member #9518 Not sure you are in the right forum for this question. Direwolf is basically a sound card TNC that would replace the PK-232 hardware. That said, what are you looking to do "on air"? ?? APRS ?? Keyboard to keyboard (Emergency comms, ...) ?? BBS type interface ?? Satellite So many more Robert Giuliano KB8RCO On Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at 07:16:06 PM EDT, W2LPC <w2lpc@...> wrote: Hello all. I have two PK-232MBX units and I'd like to bring them back to life.

W2LPC Member Profile All Messages By This Member #9524 Yes, I have been on the SNA node before. I downloaded the Paxon and will try it this weekend. I've had my PK-232's since new in 93' and haven't been on in about 4 years. I can't wait to get back on packet again. Thanks!

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #9532 W2LPC, There has been some good advice but and here is my two cents. Putty is a good terminal program to use with the type of TNCs you mentioned. I use it with an old MFJ-1270 serial TNC, I also use Outpost Ipserial on Windows 10. Outposs PMM also works with serial modems but is designed just for sernding and retrieving messages for a BBS. The tricky part is that you will probably need a USB-Serial adaptor (available on Amazon). I like the Gearmo because it has indicator lights. You will also need to figure out how to connect between the TNC and radio, the other tricky part. Another group that specializes in something besides Direwolf might be better suited. The Direwolf softare and a hardware interface replace the PK-232 modems. I know there is a Facebook page for packet in addition to the resources mentioned here. I would guess there may even be a PK-232 group out there. Good luck, Dave WB9TEN
