Can anyone point me to the recommended TNC for adding to an FT-847 for
digital satellite work? Are there special modifications needed? What
connector does it use on the FT-847?
Thanks,

I can't speak to any specific recommended
Hi Mike,
You probably should specify which type of packet you are interested in
working; an answer to your question depends on that.
For 1200 baud packet, you can use just about anything, including some
software solutions (MixW, for example). Or, one of many MFJ TNCs you
find at hamsfest or on

Mike,
I have used my FT-847 with both sound cards and TNCs for years. There is
nothing special about the TNC needed. It does 1200 and 9600 baud out of the
box, but as Mark mentioned, going faster requires some modifications. The
connector is a standard computer type 6 pin connector, as others
Having owned a FT-847 since 1998, I can.
For 1200-baud packet it merely requires connecting a std TNC (I use a
KPC-3+) to the 6-pin mini-Din packet connector (plug available from
many Radio Shacks) on the back of the radio. Page-17 in the
operators manual shows how. You can also connect
Mike
I'am currently using a Symek TNC3S 1200/9600 duel port with my FT847 and
works great with APRS, UISS, Packet Engine Pro and Wisp. Having the right
data cable between the TNC and FT847
is the key to making it all work. The data cable end for the FT847 uses a
male 6-pin mini din connector.
