Adrian, Thank you!!! It works now after using Hyper Terminal.
The lights that you mentioned light up to suggest low power but the TNC and computer are at least talking to each other.

I won't be using Packet on that radio. 73, Tom --- VK4TUX <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK Set your Winpack comms setup to; > Baud rate: 9600 > Data Bits; 8 > Stop Bits; 1 > Parity; None > Handshaking; None > DCD shows con; YES > Com port (one you are using) > Turn pk-232 off for 5 minutes with no battery > backup inside.
