[K3PZN-List] Connecting an IC-T7H to PC

[Curt Milton]

Sean

FB.  sounds like Joe has some expertise you can
leverage.  now that some folk hear you are seeking a
tnc something may materialize.  a used vintage tnc
should be much much less than $200 Joe mentioned that
likely is something very modern.  the essence of
packet is very simple - so you merely are looking for
a hardware interface as something to check out the
mode.  

i am not on the education committee.  my
recommendation for the quickest way to general is to
read the study book and find a tutor or 2 to help you
in those areas where you need a boost.  as you get
started let me know how you are progressing.
