Hi All
I used the same setup I used before except I changed the tnc to KPC9612 +.. Everything was fine with this setup. I worked Echo 51 satellite, tnc was samik @ 9600 .bpsand Hope1 tnx was mfj1278b @ 1200 bps.-------------- Now my main problem is:............
KPC 9612 + refuse to key my radio (Icom 910) from MSPE.
KPC-TNC works great with any terminal programs, and keying any radios at both port. also I setup wisp on my laptop – windows 10 following the same steps of my friend Mineo Wakita at his nice website. I tested the wisp with mfj tnc and it was ok with windows 10 setup @1200 bps and on my old desktop PC. Last night manually I put the KPC+ in KISS mode, its works ok and the MSPE keying the rig at 9600 bps.
Today when i was tracking the falconsat-3 ,the KPC refuse to key the radio again and it was deadly silent.........., i try every thing i knew ( i tested two units of the kpc+) but I keep pulling my grey hair since the last all week.....:( Any help appreciated.73's Nader Omer- st2nh
Hello Nadar,
Two quick thoughts---
1--the IC-910 (and IC-9100...) are very sensitive to input levels. If your audio "in" to the radio it too high, the radio will not transmit.
2--if your TNC is not putting itself into KISS mode, you'll have to figure out another way. I thought you could specify KPC-9612 as the TNC type under TNC settings. Please double check that. Otherwise, you may have to put your TNC into KISS mode and leave it there.
Or maybe it's something else? Wire issue?

I can't help with your hardware TNC specifically, but for those of us using a software modem, an update was required from the author (UZ7HO) to allow PTT regardless of carrier detect. Since FS-3 is more-or-less constantly transmitting, there will seldom be an absence of RX data. So, you may wish to verify whether any adjustment is needed with your setup to allow PTT in a full-duplex environment.
