------------------------------------- Setup "TNC-241" for AO-16 with WiSP32 ------------------------------------- From: "Richard Hoskin" [rhoskin@intermet.net.au] To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [jamsat-amsat-bb:25855] TASCO TNC-241 Info Wanted Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 21:27:45 +1000 Hi, I have been offered a Tasco TNC-241 for use on the 1200 baud PSK Sats. I have never heard of this brand of TNC before and would like to hear from anyone who has had experience with this TNC (good and bad) before I go and purchase it. One important question is does WISP32 support it? Thanks, Cheers Richard VK3JFK.

All mode OK, ie FSK, PSK, JAS, RTTY, AMTOR, CW, FAX. "TMB-965" is G3RUH outside modem for 9600bps with TNC-241. But, these TNC-241 and TMB-965 (TASCO) may be stop sale ? ---------------------------------------------- Name : JE9PEL/Mineo Wakita, Member of JAMSAT Mail : je9pel@jamsat.or.jp URL : http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/ QTH : Yokohama Japan, GL:PM95TJ Date : 30 Aug.1999 ---------------------------------------------- From: "Richard Hoskin" [rhoskin@intermet.net.au] To: "'Mineo Wakita'" [je9pel@jamsat.or.jp] Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] Re: TASCO TNC-241 Info Wanted Date: Sat, 2 Oct 1999 21:42:51 +1000 Thanks for your reply Mineo, After reading your email and some time contemplating the idea I finally went and purchased a second hand TASO and am trying to set it up for AO16 using WISP but am having a few problems as the manual is in Japanese and I have no way of interpreting the information I need on the PSK configuration. Would you be kind enough to tell me what settings I need in Wisp to allow the TNC to work on AO-16.
