Of course, I think Robert should take baby steps and make sure things are working with his computer and TNC setup in TERMINAL mode before trying to setup a AX25 station using KISS mode, IMHO. I'm out of ideas as to why things aren't working, assuming that Robert checked that his HBAUD setting is 1200 (not 300), and that the Carrier Detect ('CD') is INTERNAL (or SOFTWARE, but INTERNAL is default afaik). Does 'MHeard' suggest that the TNC is decoding any packets? Does listening to the audio from the transceiver sound loud and "squaky" rather than quiet hissing like?
