Looks like the TNC cannot be slowed down below 9600.  Am I hosed, or can TR 
possibly support 9600 like page 39 says?

OK sage ones, tyro needs help.

I am trying to get packet running for ARRL DX SSB.  TR (6.35) worked great 
in CW test, but did not have packet radio then.  TNC and 2m radio work fine 
via two different terminal programs (9600-8-N-1-N), but when I do a ctrlB 
in TR I just get = characters running across the screen and no spots. TR 
talks to the HF rig just fine.  I think I have the packet parameters set up 
okay:

PACKET PORT = SERIAL 3  (same one the terminal programs work with)
EIGHT BIT PACKET = TRUE
PACKET  BAUD RATE = 9600 (page 39 of manual says up to 9600, page 69 says 
4800.  Am I doomed?)
PACKET BEEP = TRUE

Anybody already experienced this and know what is wrong?  Or can suggest 
something else to try?

Also, is anyone using the W2IHY voice keyer with TR and how did you 
interface it?  I am about to start cobbling up 2N222 and resistors.
