Eric, If you haven't seen it yet, the quick start guide for the TinyTrak4 is available here: https://www.byonics.com/downloads/TinyTrak4%20Quick%20Start%20Guide%20v0.7.pdf This as well as the full manual have a lot more information on configuration, but here is a list of steps to switch it over to KISS mode quickly:
- Configure Putty for the proper port and 19200 baud - Cycle the power on the TT4 and watch for "Press ESC 3 times to enter TT4 Options Menu" - Press the escape key 3 times quickly and the TNC will enter menu mode - Type "AMODE" and it will output the currently configured operating mode. (Most likely "TEXT" judging by your posted output) - Type "AMODE KISS" to change the operating mode Brett KQ9N On Mon, Feb 8, 2021 at 3:25 PM Eric Chamberlain <ericchamberl...@mail.com> wrote: > Thanks Tom.
