It’s a serial protocol to talk with a Terminal Node Controller so that you can use a computer to control and send AX.25 packets, rather than rely on the firmware in the TNC.

I’ve taken the creator of TravellerMap.com out to lunch several times when at TravellerCon.

Due to the conditions of his job, he can’t accept any monetary donations or payment for his work on TravellerMap.com.

I also prefer N connectors.

I’ve been an on and off member of the ARRL every since I was first licensed in the 90s. At one point, I was even a VE. I don’t remember exactly what made me decide to drop membership many years ago, but in the following years the actions of the ARRL have not inspired confidence.

I have received zero emails about my VE status, and I haven’t participated in any licensing sessions in years.

I’m a registered user of LotW, but not an ARRL member. Pretty sure they sent it to all registered users.

This was available for pre-order through Anderson Entertainment. Those of us who did so already have the full preview PDF and we’ll be getting the book first.

I’ve had to do that so I could install new firmware to enable matter, but after that didn’t need to access the manufacturer account anymore.
