Hello Curt and all other hams,
thank you for your replies.
I got now xastir up and running fine with my Landolt TNC2.
Anybody who is interested in it:
1.) Put the TNC into Kissmode like that:
- open a terminal and connect to the TNC
- Press "esc"-Key, then enter @K
- the red and green leds will flash 3 times to signal the KISS-Mode
2.) Open Xastir and configure a Kiss-TNC. As I use different configurations, I
don't start the interfaces at xastir-startup, but start them manually, but
this is your choice.
3.) Good luck!
I think I only had problems with decoding the aprs-packets because the signals
were too weak, maybe my signal didn't reach the next digipeater.
73 to all and thanks again.
Rainer, DL5PD
