Sounds like bad TNC/radio wiring, honestly. Can you make it transmit if you wire it up to a dumb terminal and put it in CONV mode, taking Xastir out of the loop entirely? And you rightly point out that it could be an error in wiring to the radio as well. I can't check those pinouts for you, but that's a good place to start. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
