I'am currently using a Symek TNC3S 1200/9600 duel port with my FT847 and works great with APRS, UISS, Packet Engine Pro and Wisp. Having the right data cable between the TNC and FT847 is the key to making it all work. The data cable end for the FT847 uses a male 6-pin mini din connector. Other TNC's I use PK96, KPC-9612+, Paccomm Spirit-2 96/38k4, Symek TNC31S 96/96 and 96/38k4 and if you purchase any I have MS Word files I wrote as to how to complete their setups.

Can anyone point me to the recommended TNC for adding to an FT-847 for digital satellite work? Are there special modifications needed? What connector does it use on the FT-847?
Thanks, Mike kb8zgl
