Thanks Steve I think I have it set up. I can not connect to the radio because it's not data capable can I play the sounds out of the speakers and transmit manually

At the time of this writing (Jan 2016) the Development snapshot version “I” would crash for me whenever I attempted a packet connection. Development snapshot “F” has been working well. Select one of the Direwolf-x.x-win.zip files, or one of the development versions, and download it to a convenient location on your computer. I put the zip file on my desktop.

Change the COM1 to correspond to the COM port being used to key the radio, and include RTS, DTR, -RTS, or -DTR to select the handshake line(s) and handshake polarity needed to key your radio. Some experimentation may be required if you are not sure which handshake lines are correct,

This will not only configure Direwolf for 2400 Baud, but also use the two tone frequencies of 2165 Hz and 3970 Hz. These two frequencies are used by AGWPE for 2400 Baud communications.

Confirm that your sound card has been found, and that the desired Baud rate has been configured. If your sound card is connected to a radio, tune for packet activity (try 144.390 APRS frequency) and you should see received packet info in the Direwolf window when you hear packet transmissions on your radio.

In the Packet TNC Type dropdown, select KISS. Make sure the Packet TNC Model is set to Normal. In the Serial Port dropdown, select TCP. In the TCP Host/Port dropdown, set the address to 127.0.0.1. Set the Port to 8001. NOTE: The default port will probably not be correct. Click on Update at the bottom of the window. The configuration window should close, and you should see that the KISS TNC has been initialized.
