I seem to recall that the trick to doing this (other than diode steering the PTT's and isolating the audio) was to steer the PTT signal from each TNC to the other's RF-DCD port through a diode. That way, each TNC would know when the other had the PTT in use. This was most commonly used to mux 1200

Eric, I am sure you can connect the audios together from/to both rigs. One would have to isolate the TNCs TX audio using just a couple of resistors. Their values would depend on the rig TX audio input impedance, but typically is high on Ham rigs so 1 kOhms resistors would probably work. Th

Kantronics built dual speed TNCs with a provision to prevent the problem Eric describes. It would allow you to interface both speeds to one radio and a parameter can be set to prevent them from both trying to transmit at the same time. 73 - Jim W5ZIT Eric Lemmon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

Dave, I'd like to see that article, too. Connecting two TNCs to one radio is easy, but allocating the RX and TX functions between two devices is hardly a trivial matter. Unless a buffer is used to store outbound data while the radio is busy receiving data on the other TNC, collisions will occur
