If your running an I-gate, wide1-1 fill in digi. I had trouble also, with
tnc locking up, and had to cycle tnc power to fix. Only lasted day's before
trouble showed up again. I fixed issue by programming tnc,(kpc-3+ 9.1) as
a wide1-1 digi and run ui-view in terminal. Everything works better &
faster for me. No more trouble forme....

It sounds like that fixed up the problem you were having with the TNC, but
I think I would rather find out why the TNC was locking up. It's nice that
you have the WIDE1-1 digi running there if it's needed, but it would be
a "smarter" digi if UI-View was running it instead of it being a TNC-based
digi if I'm understanding you correctly. Any ideas why the TNC would
lock up before? Does the computer have a reasonable amount of
horsepower? Was the cable homebrew or commercially made... i.e.
all pins have continuity and shielded? What settings were you using
in the COMMS / KISS screen?
I'm glad that "delayed packets" is finally getting some attention. I think
it should get a lot more than it does. As has been pointed out, there
are many potential causes. Tracking a station is only one use of
APRS, but for that purpose, delayed packets do a pretty good job of
messing things up.

Subject: [aprssig] TNC-X anyone?
Is anyone using the TNC-X for APRS? ( http://www.tnc-x.com/ )
I'm looking at using it to replace my IGate's current TNC (the built- in
TNC in an Alinco DR-135), as I'd like to do proper KISS between the
computer and the TNC (I've managed to get the DR-135 to do KISS, but
sometimes it would kick itself out of KISS mode for no apparent reason).
I'll probably keep using the DR-135 as the radio, while using the external
TNC for the packet encoding/decoding.
Am I going to be happy with it in this application? What would make me
happy is a TNC that decodes just as many packets as the Alinco does,
supports KISS (the flavor used by the Linux kernel drivers), and requires
very little "fiddling" once it's in place. Transmit is basically secondary
to this - if it can send a packet the local digis can repeat, I'm happy. I
basically want this to be a "set and forget" type of TNC as I am often away
from home for several weeks at a time (yes, I check in on the IGate
remotely, and can shut it down remotely in case of problems). I don't want
something like the Alinco which loses its' mind once in a while.

I have a TNC-X and DR-135 combination that I am using for APRS. It works
well for me. I am using it connected to a real RS-232 port. Set it up and
it runs and runs, neither tnc or radio have been powered off or reset in
months.
It is an easy build and the instructions were good enough for me to
understand.
