I’m putting together a packet radio station and recently bought a TNC from an eBay auction. I before I left the feedback, I wanted to make sure the thing wasn’t DOA, so I hooked it up to the PC to see if it was alive and it was.
Check out the release date for the MFJ-1278 data controller
MFJ ENTERPRISES INC
MODEL NO. MFJ-1278
MULTIMODE DATA CONTROLLER
AX.25 Level 2 Version 2.0
Release 3.3 11/08/89 - 32K RAM Multilevel
Checksum $E7
I still need a cable and a power supply. The only question is, what radio do I want to hook it up to, the HT or the mobile rig. It will make a difference both in the power supply that I need and the cable. There is also a firmware update, release 3.7 that I could get for $24.95, but I’m not sure I need it, at least not yet, I’m still learning the basics of packet radio.
