Neat! Not sure if that was what you were on when I contacted you this afternoon--if so, sounded good.
To anybody in the know---Here's a question I have about the TH-D72---once the TNC is put into KISS mode--can you use the micr0-USB port to a communicate with terminal program on your PC? Having read the manual, I see that full duplex 9600/dual band is possible, and I see that KISS is possible. It claimes the micro-USB can be used to connect to a PC. But I wonder about talking to the TNC while in KISS mode... If that works--(access to TNC in KISS mode, full duplex/9600)--it would make one nice little portable packet satellite radio package! 73, Mark N8MH At 02:28 PM 12/5/2010 -0700, Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) wrote: >Hi! > >The TH-D72A is the real deal as a cross-band full-duplex HT for >FM satellite work.
