Hello Everyone,
I figured this should be the best place to get
good insite on a problem I am having with a PK232 TNC.
I have purchased a used PK232 and I am having problems getting it
working. First, I noticed that the battery backup clip for the
3 - AA batteries is missing from the top cover. I believe the unit
can still work without this (please let me know if I am wrong).
When I go to power on the unit, I get the four left most LEDs coming
on solid and staying on. The tuning indicator and DCD LED appear to
be working. I followed the manual and put a jumper on JP4 from pin1 to 2
and set up the computer comport as indicated (1200, 7 N 1). Opening
hyperterminal (I am using XP Pro on the computer) I get nothing from the
TNC..No autobaud message...nothing! even after hitting the * a number of
times...no response. Do I have a lemon for a unit here or am I missing
something??. Any comments are welcome.
Thanks
Ted VE3SS
