  Have you eliminated hardware problems? Double-checked the cabling between 
your TNC and the radio?  Is the transmitter keying up, but without audio? 
Is it not keying at all?  If you unplug the TNC, and plug in the 
microphone, can you key the transmitter?
  Try stopping xastir, and bringing up minicom on the serial port where 
your TNC is connected (using the -o flag, of course).  Will your TNC & 
radio transmit packets when directly commanded?  Are they successfully 
decoded by another station?
