I thought about mailing a reply, but thought that this topic was of
sufficient general interest to post the reply instead.

Although I don't know about the HP 48SX, I have tried the Baycom rig
with the HP95LX (the bottom line is that it doesn't work).

The problem is that the Baycom packet "box" uses the RS-232 serial port
in a -- to be charitable -- "unusual" way (power comes in on the RS-232
signal line which is held at logic "1" and the data/PTT signals are
brought in on the RS-232 "control" lines such as DTR, DCD, etc.)

The 95LX (and, I assume the 48SX) implements a 3-wire RS-232 connection
(data IN, data OUT, ground) and thus doesn't implement the "handshake"
lines.  However, I use (and love) the Baycom box with my desktop.  I
bought Paccomm's "Handipacket" for truly portable packet.

  I am a newcomer to packet, and I am still looking for a TNC or modem
to use at my own home(I have been using my radioclub's station).
  I have seen a modem for packet advertised on two ham radio
magazines, the name of the modem is BAYPAC, (model BP-1).  This modem
is only about $50 US, that seems reasonable to me.
  I would like to hear from some people who use, or have used this
modem.  How practical is it? What connections does it need?(power, PTT,
audio, etc). Have you personally liked it? etc.

  Please email or post on this newsgroup.

There is one primary "standard", the K9NG method. That interoperates
with the G3RUH design used by most of the manufacturers, including
PacComm and Kantronics. While not the ideal modulation method, it
works well enough.

>I am somewhat confused as to why a special radio is needed.

That's because the bandwidth required for the K9NG style modulation
is greater than what speech radios are designed to pass cleanly.
The modulation is sensitive to differential phase distortion. Thus
you need a radio with excellent flatness in it's IF passband response.
You want to insert and extract the modulation at the FM modulator and
FM discriminator to prevent "twist" introduced by pre-emphasis circuits
and to reduce bandwidth reductions caused by "tailored" audio circuitry
in the radio. Most voice grade radios can be made to work, but some
surgery may be required.

At the higher speed of 9600 baud, the TR turnaround delay of the
radio becomes a relatively large fraction of channel time with the fairly
short packet lengths used in amateur radio. It's worthwhile to get a 
radio that switches really fast. I use a pair of Tekk Data radios I 
got from Gracilis. The Kantronics Data radios are reported to work
fairly well, but I haven't used one yet.

>Are there 9600 baud modem kits?

TAPR used to sell the original K9NG modem, and Radio Kit had the
G3RUH. I don't know if either kit is still available. Complete
modems are available wired/tested from PacComm and Kantronics and
likely others. The PacComm unit costs $89, or at least it did
when I bought a pair.

	Unfortunately WNOS and the XT seem to be incompatible. This
	in most cases is usually due to the processor being too slow.
	WNOS4 most probably won't run on an XT @ 4.77MHz but I know
	of quite a few running WNOS4 on XTs with fast processors eg
	10Mhz V20 etc.

	This subject is discussed in the WNOS4 Distribution Documentation
	and so should come as no surprise. If you got the program and not
        the full release pack, why not ?

	Just in case, did you check if the executable you had was compiled
	for 8086 mode instructions ? May sound stupid, but it happens :-)

Hi-  Due to a recent hamfest, I now have packet capability.  After

onto the packet network.  One small snag remains, however.  I
cannot find the information I require for constructing a cable
from my Radio Shack HT to the TNC.  Since the RS manual that came
with the rig was unclear on the subject, I tried building the cable
shown in the TNC manual for the ICOM2AT, (a radio which a number of people 
have told me is similar to the RS-HT.)  This cable would allow me
to see other people's packets, but I can't transmit.

If anybody has connected a RS-HT to a TNC and has any advice for
me I would appreciate hearing from you!  Even if someone out there
has an inkling of how to figure this out, I would be grateful.

Hello!

Can anybody point me in the direction where I can find some circuits for
a HF PSK 1200 Baud modem? I believe there is something around called
a PSK-1 modem (possibly originally for JAS-1 FO-12/20 satellites?).

The 14.109 300 Baud FSK BBS Network here in Australia is looking at switching
to 1200 Baud PSK but the local gateway on this net cant afford the cost of
a commercially made modem (which we have been told is around 300$!). We cant
see what would be in the modem that would make it that expensive and
if we can find some circuits are more than willing to build our own.

If anyone has any information please let me know! My E-Mail address is

to get a refund. They did give me a refund, albeit only $54 of the original
$90+tax I payed.

What burns me is that the guy had the audacity of telling me he can't sell
it as new, but will only sell it as a demo. When I purchased the unit
originally, it was obvious that someone else had used it before. There were
pencil marks in the manual and the box was taped with an old piece of
masking tape. Being very tolerant I didn't go back to complain (not to
mention it wasn't worth the drive)
I returned that thing cleaner and in better condition than when I bought
it! 

Hey, I have had enough of crooks, dishonesty and poor service. I hope this
will serve as a warning to anyone. Buy only from reputable mail order
outfits. These local HAM stores are a real dissapointment.

I don't know what kind of TNC you have, but the Radio Shack and Icom HT's
key the mic by feeding some DC current back into the mic input.  The 
MJF-1270B that I have had instructions included with it to place a jumper
on the circuit board to do this.

Instead of this, I wired the output from the TNC into a box so that I 
could change from the TNC to the mic and foot switch for voice. The 
circuit is shown below (switch, mic and footswitch ommitted):

                mic |-----------------------------| mic
                    |           |                 |
        TNC     ptt |-----^^^---|                 |       HT
                    |   2000 Ohm                  |
              audio |-----------------------------| ear

If the TNC still will not key the radio, reduce the resistance. If the 
recieve light won't light, increase the resistance. This is what worked 
for my Realistic HTX202.

I hope this helps.

I have tried lots of them.  PHS is pretty nice as is PKT51.  PKGOLD is 
 excellent I think. You can call the Gold folks and they have a demo version.
