TAPR TNC 2 AVAILABLE AUGUST 19
Tucson Amateur Packet Radio has announced that its new TNC 2 will
be available beginning August 19. No orders are being taken
before the 19th. Orders will be taken by telephone between 9 AM
and 9 PM PDT, August 19 through 23, and during regular business
hours thereafter. There are 280 TNC 2s on hand at TAPR, and these
will be shipped immediately. Another 300 TNCs should be ready to
ship sometime in mid-September. When you call to order a TNC,
you will be told whether yours is to be part of the first batch
or the second batch. The price of the TNC 2, including shipping,
handling and credit-card charges will be $200.85. The TAPR phone
number is 602-746-1166. Congratulations to the TNC-2 volunteers
for completing a significant packet-radio project.

NOTES FROM GLB
Ken Burton, N9CVV, reports the following developments at GLB.
GLB will be coming out with two new models, the PK1L and the PK2.
The PK1L will be the same as the the PK1, except that it will
require just under 40 mA at 12 V. The PK2 is supposed to be
entirely new, with some new features. They may also be offering
a complete packet station: receiver, transmitter, amplifier and
TNC all mounted in a 19" chassis. Simply add a power supply and
you have a rack-mountable digipeater. Ken saw the prototype of a
complete 220-MHz network controller. It will run 9600 bits/s and
include transmitter, radio/modem and network control computer.
GLB would like to hear what the amateur community wants designed
into this controller. Write to Ed Jackson or Gil Boelke at:
