RE: [digitalradio] HOW TO- Packet Keyboard-to-Keyboard operation?
Mike... You can also put your TNC in Converse mode. This will allow you to transmit in the blind like calling CQ or just announcing you are Listening. There should be Converse mode for your TNC.

Yes, I'm a packet newb. I just got my VHF packet system running (817/Signalink USB/Laptop/AGW/PacTerm) and can connect to a couple of local BBS. But I would like to understand how to actually do a keyboard to keyboard QSO using packet. I assume this does NOT go through a BBS. I've ready about 'keyboard to' but cannot find actual instructions about how to actually go about it. I have a willing friend ham on the other end that will work with me. Eventually I'd like to incorporate PacLink and Thunderbird and make that same keyboard-to-keyboard QSO using the Thunderbird Email client interface. Thanks for any pointers, URLs, docs. Mike

Just do a C[ONNECT] to the far end node (ex. C KC6POB-1). Once connected, type back and forth as a normal conversation. Disconnect to terminate the session. It's that easy! 73,kevinkc6pob --- On Wed, 8/25/10, mikefapex mikefa...@gmail.com wrote: From: mikefapex mikefa...@gmail.com Subject: [digitalradio] HOW TO- Packet Keyboard-to-Keyboard operation?
