[Dxspider-support] AGW & TNC problem

[Bill Shell]

Charlie,
Does this problem add characters to the end of lines?  I had a problem with
AGW and my DRSI DPK-2 (TNC-2 clone) TNCs.  When in kiss mode I would see
additional characters, and an occasional added odd character.  I didn't try
changing the RS232 data speed.  I just thought I had a bad EPROM load, and
was going to try a new one, but I never got around to it.
73, Bill

I am writing this message to document an issue that I have just
discovered when using AGWPE.  This applies only to a DXSpider Windows
installation and AGWPE

If you use an external TNC, for example a Tiny 2 or MFJ-1270, ensure
that the data rate between AGW and the TNC is greater than 1200 baud.
While changing some TNCs this past weekend, we found that AGW does not
work when the Serial Port/modem Baud Rate is set at 1200 baud.  This
same problem with AGW applies when the Tnc Type is set to either PACCOM
or TAPR TNC2.

New Tiny 2s ship with the terminal baud rate jumpered to 1200 baud.

Frankly, this may be the reason that some folks have reported difficulty
getting their TNC into KISS mode when using AGW.  You can communicate
with the TNC fine when using something like Hyperterminal at 1200 baud.
