[Packet] MFJ 1270C TNC-2 Packet Controller Question

New to the list and trying to get into APRS packet but the TNC I have is
giving me a couple of problems.

I am communicating between TNC and PC (486 PC) as I do a "display" and can
see all the settings as they came from the TNC.  However, when I have the
TNC key up the Alinco DR-1200, all I get is a steady EBS-like tone emitting
from the radio.  It stays keyed for about a minute plus unless I turn the
TNC off.

I'm contemplating calling MFJ this week but wanted to put it across the list
first to see if anyone had any ideas as to what caused this problem.  The
connection between the TNC and the PC apparently is fine, but from the TNC
to the radio is where the problem looks to be.

Any ideas are appreciated.
