Re: [digitalradio] Kantronics KAM
nope, I got a Kam about $10 last year conversion from UK money to dollars, nobody wants packet radio tnc's but the other multimode tnc's like the pk232 mbx are still trying to be sold at high prices... I think the Kam etc are great, I had thought of hooking a couple up on 466 Mhz and leave messages in a neighbours M.box for playing chess. Apart from the tcpip and the dx cluster packet seems to be scarce in the UK..my local node closed some years ago, for ax25 comms. I saw something about G-tor being used in mexico by military, there must be some marine transmissions still going on with Amtor..73 de ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sam Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Anyone using a Kantronics KAM (old version)?
