Re: Packet - what do you consider a "logable" contact?
开云体育Those that do not have the time to hang onto the mike for a contact miss out on the hobby’s intent and purpose – human contact. ? And when disasters strike, the human element becomes paramount. ? I find it ironic for police and miliary purposes despite all of the digital information, we get the job and mission done faster during its execution with the human voice. ? Instant gratification – the difference between the “busy person” and the hunter, explorer and adventurer. ? If life and in my case, engineering was so simple at the push of a mouse button, then innovation would die and we would still be driving horses around. ? I find FT8 a bore requiring no skill as in other modes where the computer is just gathering data for human processing purposes. ? As in a hobby that Amateur Radio is, time to do so means one is not too busy in my opinion. ? I still find in military SIGINT, when we dropped the HUMINT and human operator out of the process, we missed several signals and/or their deadly purpose. ? The lessons learned from the Israeli slaughter was too much Internet and automation vice the human operator. ? In my Naval Aviation Officer days, all of the neat toys never replaced the human operator in the loop … too much data at times and having to sort out what is as important was solved by turning off these toys that some engineer thought would help, but never really asked us who prosecuted the attacks. ? The more we digitalize what we do in amateur radio, the less human we all become and grow as insensitive to the human being needs as we see now across the globe as we have become a ID or a number rather than a name and a voice behind it, now all so impersonable. ?

Re: How to connect?
开云体育Thanks for the suggestion. ? Downloaded and tried coolterm … can’t get it to work properly though, after the first command each line just starts with a “.” ? and it doesn’t seem to recognize any escape characters. ?Also receive text doesn’t show
immediately … main com / parity/flow control parameters are correct and it connects but somehow flow control and special characters are off . ?Putty works fine now at least. ?Just have to do the initialization commands manually every time with putty?
Thanks

Re: How to connect?
开云体育Hi – update … got it to work … my mistake was that I tried to connect / disconnect while still being in Channel 0 … switched to channel 1 and was able to connect to N0HI-7 right away…. Nice!! Thanks so much and 73 Tom KI5BLU ? From: Thomas Frese

How to connect?
Hi - Tom KI5BLU here ... new to packet and just got my Teensy hardware TNC up and running ... just using the putty terminal program to connect to the TNC and set the parameters ... monitoring 14.105 I'm hearing a bunch of stations (see below) ... but how to I connect?
?
<ESC> C <CALL SIGN>?
?
is supposed to be the connect command ... but that by itself doesn't seem to trigger any transmission.? If I just hit <Enter> after that, it sends out
?
fm KI5BLU-7 to N0HI-7 ctl UI^ pid F0
?
(in this case I had typed
<ESC> C N0HI-7
and then hit a separate <CR> after that.
?
Any tips?
?
Thanks and 73

If I remember correctly a while back someone posted that there is someone that makes cables to order for TNC to Radio. i.e. Kantronics, MFJ and so on.
? Who is that does anyone have the info and experience with the quality.
