1992 still going

Time owned: more than 12 months

I bought my first KPC-3 in 1992. It has run 24/7 365 since that time. I have used it on regular packet, SEDAN, APRS, MIR, etc etc. I think that the 'olden' days of packet has gone but new days and new ideas are making these older units usable. With the ease of upgrading the eprom to 8.2, even the old verion 5's can be used on Winlink and APRS with no problem! Great system, I have 3 KPC3 and 1 kpc3+ and they all behave well.

Good, Simple TNC for VHF/UHF

Time owned: 6 to 12 months

I've had my Kantronics KPC-3 (Non-Plus) for almost a year and have had good success with it. I my experience, it connects with many other TNCs and does a good job keeping track of packet mail within the unit. If it supported Pactor and APRS directly, I'd give it a 5. For what it does, it's a solid unit that has done a great job.

Good if you do not need support.

If you are buying one look for one with the version 8.2 ROM. Kantronics will NOT support this model any longer, either software or hardware. If you need a manual look at www.mods.dk . They have some Kantronics manuals available. I would have given it a 5, but without the support of Kantronics you might end up with a door stop if there are any problems.
