Hi All,
    I am looking for some old Kantronics KPC3 and KPC3plus tncs ( I have 
cables now).  I use these units to run trafffic for the Mount Plesant school 
music dept events. They are starting to show their age and dropping like 
flies the past couple of years.  Maybe it's time to retire the packet radio 
and move on to something in the 2000's.  But if anyone has any laying around 
not being used or any other type of tnc let me know.  At least with packet 
it's easy to add stations, operators and not to expensive.  This past event 
I had 2 stations set up like field day one inside the building with a 
outside antenna and one mobile station located in the parking lot.  I have 
looked at wireless routers and computers but steel skin buildings and 300 
plus feet away isn't a good mixture

I have been researching D-Star low speed data for 2 mtrs and NJ6N D-Chat. 
This looks like the top of the line for us.  Voice and Data on the same 
channel.

Thanks let me know if you have any laying around not being used or any other 
ideas on a communication system that I maybe able to upgrade to and have it 
user freindly.
Scott
