To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I am testing the version 920603 KA9Q. So I turn on the KISS mode under Telix program. But now How can I turn off the kiss mode ? According to the PK-88 manual, section of KISS command. I need to return from command mode from host mode. How can I do that ?

I don't know about the radio link but software that can be used are such as MacX to get xwindows access, Fetch for ftp connections, Versaterm or Macterminal with the MacTCP tool for remote terminal connections. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Feb 1994 19:22:49 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!gatech!gsusgi1.gsu.edu!fncgshx@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Need info ... To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I am a novice in packet radio. I want to know more about setting up a communication link using packet radio. I've checked faq - doesn't help much. My friend lives about 50 km from my home. His house is not connected by a telephone line yet (telephone lines are scarce resources in my country). So using modem is out of the question. We like to link our PCs using packet radio instead; he has a call-sign anyway. My questions: - What's the feasible range of packet radio, and at what speed ? - Is it possible for speed > 1200 bps ? 1200 bps seems too slow. To transfer 120 kbytes file will take 20 minutes. - How much does a TNC cost ? - Is TNC software controllable ? I mean, if one frequency is 'noisy' then can TNC switch to other frequency automatically (programmable via PC) ? - Some people use CB for longer range (voice). But I think it is more noisy than FM. Is CB suitable for packet radio ? Any reference to 'guide to using packet radio' handbook or manual is appreciated. Thanks.

Several of us bought these new models but have had little success at 9600 baud packet. They seem to work fine at 1200 baud. Anyone have some ideas on how to modify or fix to run at 9600? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Feb 94 18:00:36 GMT From: mnemosyne.cs.du.edu!nyx10!wnelson@uunet.uu.net Subject: Using packet radio to access an internet account...

Yup, it's called AMPERNET, or ham's running a NOS type of program. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ | David AmperNet - ve3tos@ve3tos.ampr.org www | | VE3TOS Internet - da884@cleveland.freenet.edu (o o) | |__________________ Packet - ve3tos@va3bbs.#scon.on.can.noam__oOO__(_)__OOo_| ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Feb 1994 05:38:08 GMT From: world!dts@decwrl.dec.com To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu References , , Subject : Re: megabit per second packet (was "Re: Packet at 1.2 GHz (23cm)?")

It is my understanding that this service is 1 Watt ERP, so using a directional antenna, one must back off the power to stay at or below 1 watt effective radiated power. Note that the real intent with the NCR wavelan was to wire up an office space where cabling was difficult to install.
