With regard to interfacing radios via packet data ports. Has anyone looked at the audio flatness of these ports? Also, some rigs have a 1200 baud in/out and a 9600 baud in/out, which (apparently) have very different audio levels. I suspect there are other characteristics that are different, too.

A few questions, before I offer suggestions. 1. What cards are you using or would like to keep in the Station? 2. Are you doing anything special that requires the Squelch Gate Card? (like Spectra-Tac voting?) 3. Are you opposed to starting over where your wiring is concerned? 4.

John, I may be wrong in my assessment. By One-Way, I was referring to rig to TNC. By 2-Way, I meant taking discriminator out of one rig to discriminator audio in of the other and vice-versa. Everything points to the audio being unconditioned, thin and aurally pure, but when you send it to
