[FARC] FM Packet

[Bob Moroney]

Kirk,

Have you checked out the MIXW manual at 
http://k6ix.net/MixW/MixW%20Manual.pdf?  It seems to go into some detail 
about configuring the program to do packet.

I think what Anthony N1IG is saying is simply that you don't need to do 
anything with the TS2000 data port.  If you've got everything working 
for the other modes, you're ready to go, other than configuring MIXW for 
AX.25 with your call and the other setup stuff that seems to be 
described in the manual.

73, Bob K9CMR
