yes, obviously this was the first thing I tried.

After few tests the results are:

At this point, I have a bunch of stations in "View->All stations". 
However, they're all "NO SYM YET" and there is no time and position. 
They're not shown in the map.

When I try to "Transmit now" the log continues:

IW2NYD>APX132,TRACE7-7:=4548.14N/00925.72E-XASTIR-Linux

Cosa ?

"Cosa ?" is "What?" probably who wrote the firmware of the TNC device 
had fun to translate the answers in italian :(
The radio *doesn't* transmit anything (and the "PTT" led on the tnc 
doesn't light up too).

I'm concerned about the fact many stations are found but they're ALL NO 
SYM YET.

The same system connected to a THD7 works like a charm, I can contact 
more than 450 stations in a day.

I tried to touch the volume and squalch controls on the radio, but the 
situation doesn't get any better.

Any hint???

Thank you
