Subject: Best 2M TNC: KPC-3??
Hello John
The KPC-3 Plus will run off of an external 12 VDC battery or an internal
9 VDC battery. The KPC-3 Plus is by far the best little TNC on the
market right now. I have one that I run as a KNET Node and then I have
one that I run in the KISS mode on my JNOS station. They both work very
well. If you are looking at HF and VHF then I would go with the KAM
Plus. Have a good day, and 73's.

Hi all..
Gonna finally give 2M packet a try.
Friend of mine just bought a Kantronics KPC-3+.
It's an OK unit.... but I was NOT impressed by the
fact that one must install a 9v battery clip (i.e
solder it on the unit).... if you wanted to run it
off of DC power.
Would like to get other opinions on other TNC's to
consider that are good for mobile use or emergency
use where you might wanna run it off battery power
for days.
Or..... is the KPC-3 the 'de facto" unit to
get/use?

Hello Again John
I just wanted to let you know that the KPC-3 and KPC-3 Plus can run as a
NET/ROM Node. All that is needed is the K-Net Chip and it works very
well.

Hi John, I have had good luck with Paccoms TNC's (they have a web
page). The Handypacket and Tiny 2's are good. They are a little more
flexable than the KPC-3 (you can make them NETROM nodes and a few other
things.) MFJ are OK but they dont do well mobile.
I have used KPC-3's as well, mobile as a matter of fact and am quite
pleased with them. There are other choices however, it mostly depends
on what you want to do. Heathkit also sold a good small unit for a
while.
Most of my use has been mobile in support of rallies in the Angeles
national forest. The only tnc I do not reccomend is AEA's PK80? Its
several years old and has some unfortunate harmonics in the 2mtr packet
band. You should be able to get some Tiny 2's or MFJ tncs for 50 to 100
dollars. If you have any other questions or want help finding something
send me a note and Ill see what I can do. By the way for
mobile/portable use its hard to beat a Model 100 or 102 (radio shack).
They dont do much but they take a beating and keep on ticking.
Take care and 73, Art KF7GD. ajurya@hughes.net

Sorry if this is OT for this NG, but I don't know where else to post the
question.
On the basis that I know my position accurately, is there a program which I
can use to calculate the direction of sunrise?
TIA

The nautical almanac could help you here. It'll tell you the azimuth etc of
applicable objects. 73's !
