While in CMD mode, type echo then hit enter, it should indicate your current setting for ECHO, either ON or OFF. To see entered text, it should be "ON." 73, De...
I am having init. problems. 1st off I did change firmware to 8.2 and used it for aprox a year no problems. I packed up radio and tnc for a move. it was packed...
Hi Fred A simple test would be to plug in the radio, then completely open it's squelch, so it's roaring. Check now, has the RX light on the KPC3 lit up? If it...
thanls, I understand the leds light up when signals applied. I power up and I was thinking it would init and see the led's cycle some what to show the init...
Hi to all- Just bought a used KAM XL and loving it - much better in many ways than my old PK232DSP. Setup is RDCP Software - Keyspan Serial to USB Adaptor -...
Hello, I recently upgraded my KAM+ from v8.0 to v8.2 for APRS use. I need assistance on the DB-25 pinout for the two serial ports within so I can attach the...
I would venture to say that there is enough current, just make sure that the receiver is 12VDC and not 5VDC. Most of the serial GPS receivers are 5VDC. If...
It's the same wiring as it was before. Changing the Eprom to V8.2 doesn't alter the pinouts, so they're the ones that are in your existing manual. I wonder...
Turn your squelch off. I had this problem too with a yeasu FT-100, it would blink continuously and not allow anything else to come through. The TNC is seems to...
Hi Guys Looking for suggestions about how I can fix my KAMplus. The TNC has the usual common fault where it sends gibberish to the terminal and the signal...
Paul, If I were you I think that I would try letting the unit warm up until it is stable. The take a spray can of coolant and spray each component one at a...
Paul, problem is another of the electrolytic capacitors failed. Probably due to HV surge punch thru of the extremely thin chemical insulation layer that forms...
I had a similar problem with my KAM Plus TNC about two years ago. The unit would not respond to any keyboard command and would only display garbage on the...
Great suggestions fellas, THANKS a million! I absolutely agree about changing all the electrolytic caps with top makers 105c replacements. Good practice....
If you start to see failures again that seem to be thermal related, and can't identify an offending component, also consider cracked print on the PCB, or bad...
I have an original that I will scan into a PDF. It is larger than my scanner, so i will have to scan it in sections, then merge in Photoshop. Will try to post...
Yes, Has anyone had this problem? I am making a cable from the tnc to the rig and I am following the instruction's per the Kantronic's website for the pin-out...
Make sure "CD" is set to "software";! CD (carrier detect) default is Internal, and you have to set the squelch level for proper operation. Mic connector audio...
I just got a cable from Buxcomm that is supposed to interface my ICom 746 to the Kantronics TNC's for VHF packet through the front, 8-pin mic connection (model...
Has anyone ever figured out any kind of mods for this TNC to get it to work properly on HF, I can use it to receive at 300b but it is way off freq for sending...
Try - 1) set the TNC back to defaults, then power off the unit. This forces the autobaud (ABAUD) routine to execute. With your terminal emulator set to 8N1 and...
Looking at my KPC-3 manual (v5.0) with respect to ground on pin 6 - "With some transceivers which do not reference PTT and audio shielding to a common ground,...
look in your user manual for the hbaud command and read the comment about the device shift. This will explain why your signal sounds different from other HF...
Is this possible ,in all my research I have yet to see the kp3 tx on hf. If some one can come up with a mod this will be great. I Â hope one day this might...
