There is a pull down box on the right side of the page for each month as far
back as December 1994 to the present. It is in an odd sort order, but the
archives are there. I just checked by searching for 'kenwood' in the June
2001 archives and found the following....

Be sure to check the "Restrict Matched Files" box to the left of the
archives pull-down.

The quality WinAPRS cannot be compared to any other APRS product. The level
of support is without doubt unique and everybody would be happy to get
WinAPRS working for him. WinAPRS sets new limits to uptime performance and
redefines the meaning of the word "stability". There is no doubt about its
usefulness and software of this quality is not often seen. The product's
functionality is frequently discussed on the APRS SIG and its performance
on Windows systems is widely known. The value of WinAPRS can only be
imagined and its sales price needs to be reviewed urgently to reflect its
true market value.
Kind regards,
Henk.

Hi Ken,
I know the archives are there, I just wondered where the _raw_ archives
are. I simply want to download them completely and do my own
(re)searches on them.
Using Wilma, or whatever it's called, to look for something is less than
satisfactory to put it mildly.

Help!
I have a dead KPC I'd like to use for APRS. Looks like the MC6803P-1 and
the AM7910 is dead. I'm having a heck of a time finding one or two of each
(in case I toast the first one...hi hi). Anyone out there have any in
their junk box or know of a source? Thanks!!!!

The raw mail archives are supposed to be available if you click on the list
name in the search page; you can download each month's messages. However,
I just tried and got an error. I think it's a file permission problem; the
current OS on tapr.org is a bit too security conscious and we find things
like this every now and again (don't know it's a problem until someone
tells us). I'll see if there's a quick fix available, but if it's a more
serious problem, it will have to wait until we unveil the new website and
server, which hopefully will be in the near future.

John

I can get to the raw archives from before 2001. However, there are no
links to the raw archives after 2001. You can only go to the index pages
and then from there you can go to each individual email message.

Thanks for that info. The problem *should* be fixed; as suspected, it was
a permissions issue. Please let me know if you continue to have trouble.

Hi Jerry,
The AMD 7910 has been out of production for almost 10 years - it's the
reason that AEA had to replace the PK-88. They were also quite
expensive - about $30 each for the chips, if you could find 'em. If
you're dead set on reviving this TNC, my suggestion would be to put a
socket in it's place, then design and build up a perf-board plug-in
adapter with one of the current technology modem chips, like an MX-614.
TAPR has this part, and I think they'll sell them individually. I can't
help with the 6803. Have you asked Kantronics?
Also, since most of the programs out there now support KISS TNC's, you
could consider building up John Hanson's KISS PIC TNC - the article is
in the QST archives.

The 9711 may be a drop-in replacement. I think so.
We used them in credit card terminals in the late 80's

Speaking of TNC parts, I finally found a manual for the Hitachi HD6303 CPU.
Is there any functional difference between the HD6303 and the HD63B03 used
in the KPC3? I've been thinking of writing some new firmware for my KPC3 as
an OpenTRAC project. Has anyone tried this? If someone's already worked
out the memory map and everything it'd save me some effort. And a free or
cheap C compiler for it would be nice...

I too had crashes after awhile of running WinAPRS 2.7.0, but not with the
new WinAPRS 2.7.1 from http://www.winaprs.com/downloads/. It's been holding
up fine so far, using WindowsXP. Now with 2.7.1, the WXNOW.TXT file from
Weather-Display software http://www.weather-display.com/ can be used with
WinAPRS too.
Thanks to TSB <The Sproul Brothers> for finding the UHE crashing bug (and
the WXNOW.TXT bug) and quickly providing us with a fixed version.

for your palm pilot.
