Subject: equipment review in QST
Interesting. Yeah, digital-wise, I've been pretty disapointed with QST
overall -- and this sort of confirms my thinking. Did they drop the
digital column? Or are they looking for another guy to do it? I wasn't
quite sure what that article recently in the digital column on how to search
for web pages had to do with ham radio. And, wasn't there another
article all about how to subscribe to mailing lists -- what was that?

I think also that this is a good job to post this prgm.
This is strange... a lot of people annouce that they have also a "prgm"...
Sorry the one from Sergei works fine and I am waiting for the TX part.
Be positive please!
Critics are easy!

Subject: PK-96 help, please..
I have a PK-96, and I have four lights which stay on all of the time, and
cannot get the TNC to operate. The lights are the DCD, CON, STA, MAIL. It did
this some time back, and since it is not a TNC I use much, I did not worry
with
it. I want to setup a mobile system (Possibly APRS), and need to try to get
this one going. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Paul,
It sounds like the PK-96 is in the reset state and autobauding. Send an * and
see if you get a sign-on message.
Another thing you can do is download PK TERM 99 from http://www.timewave.com
and use that to connect. The downloaded program is in demo mode until
registered but the demo mode is VHF so it will allow you to run the PK-96
