I succeeded to configure it with mkiss and kissattach (no success with kissattach alone), RX and TX functional on 9k6. Small problem - it just receives two frames at once, the third one is rejected. I have still to play a bit with setup of USB-RS232 converter, which I believe, has the problem. Everything on Mandrake 8.2, kernel 2.4.18, newest libs/tools/apps. 73, Milan OK1XH John Ackermann N8UR wrote: > I'm trying to use my Kenwood TH-D7A(g) handy-talkie for some packet > demos and am having real problems.
