Russell, It makes sense that if you're trying to receive and transmit 9600 baud APRS that the serial port can't be set to a lower speed than that. The serial link to the computer would then become an unwanted bottleneck. But if you have the TNC to set to 1200 baud data but the radio only offer

Unfortunately the Cygwin environment can't be statically linked both by design and by license. The license requires that you distribute the entire thing or not at all. And there's no way in the tools that they provide to statically link in the .dll file. One of these days, once I become independe
