APRS DIGI SET UP OF PK-96-100	Reply
by KF6NPL on October 15, 2009	Mail this to a friend!
Hi there, since I get my VX8 with the whole gps-aprs set up, I start loving APRS, only problem in my home town Redlands CA 92373, I have no coverage at all, I get coverage in near by towns like San Bernardino CA. So I decide to set up my own APRS Digi, I just purchase a VHF DATA RADIO MFJ-8621A, wich is set up crystal to 144.390 and also I purchase a TNC PK-96-100. What I like to accomplish is to set up this two units as a stand alone APRS DIGI, with is own 2 meter antenna and power by a 13.8V battery backed up power supply. I like to have some help on how to set up this, the TNC - RADIO is very straigh both have the same type of connectors, so this will be no problem, but the parameters set up at the TNC probably will be a little more complicated, so if any of you can help me to get my town into the APRS map, I would appreciate it. 73 TNX DAN, KF6NPL

What APRS program are you going to run. You will either have too manually program the TNC (big pain) or program it with something like UI-View322. 73 de Lindy

Hi Lindy, thanks for your answer. I do have several software programs, "ROC Digital Desktop ", "XPWARE for windows ", "WINPACK", " PKTERM" and " UI-view", but what I would like to do is to set up a STAND ALONG unit, the MFJ-8621A VHF Data Radio, connected to the AEA PK-96 100, I belive that the parameters has to be enter only once to the TNC, and let the unit just DIGI APRS on the area that I live, so what I try to find out it is how to set the PK-96 to do just that, this TNC had "true DCD" for hear weak signals. I don't want to had a computer permanent conected to the TNC, just the tnc radio poer supply and antenna. Thanks Dan KF6NPL
