[SMCARA] [Non-DoD Source] FW: Need a little WinLink help

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Gary,

Something appears to be inhibiting your PTT.  I would look into the "squelch output activation" setting, although I am not familiar with the software/TNC combo.  Maybe a chat with Hansen to see if he has any ideas for making the TNC-X work with WinLink.  Since the TNC passes the tests, it seems to point to a software issue. Maybe a chat with Ray, KB3FWW.

Anyone else out there got any ideas?

Good luck!
Tom/W4OKW

Dear SMCARA Members,



I'm looking for someone who can help me with some digital (Packet I think) questions.  I have downloaded WinLink and RMS Express in an effort to learn how to use Packet and send emails over the radio.  I used WinLink and successfully composed and sent as well as received email using the Telnet Winlink option.  I built a TNC-X kit and tested it using their test program.
It seems to work fine.  However, when I connect it to my Kenwood V71A and try to connect with a station, I do not seem to be able to connect and show no signs of transmitting.  I have configured the data band on the radio to channel A transmit and receive (where I set the FBO frequency of 145.750), set the terminal speed to 1200 bps, and port speed to 9600 and the squelch output activation is "busy and transmit"  I am using a factory wired cable to connect the TNC to the radio.  I was told that KB3FWW is the local station to use (145.750) which shows active on the WinLink listing, but I neither receive nor can I connect with this station.  I have tried to do a session using "Direct" and the call sign KB3FWW and KB3FWW-10 with no success.



Can anybody help me understand what I may be doing wrong?  Thanks



Best 73's,   W3GME

Gary
