Does anyone know how one would interface an Amiga with a communications receiver in order to decode and show RTTY, Morse, Packet. etc. --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R

Packet Radio (at 1200 baud) uses the Bell 202 standard while at 300 baud, it uses the Bell 301 standard (I think). TNC stands for Terminal Node Controller. You can find ads for these devices in most any Ham Radio magazine such as "QST" and "73 Magazine." If you have a bridge board, there are TNC board sthat plug directly into a PC slot. Depending on what kind of packet activity you have, you may also need the KA9Q TCP/IP software package (has been ported to the Amiga). Most TNCs provide RTTY capabilities and some may even provide morse code reading capabilities as well.
