Hi All, Now that I am 'officially' a member of KARC again (yes Steve, I gave my dues to David on Sunday....hi) might I suggest a TNC-X kit build. Nice little TNC that works stand alone for APRS or as a Digi or just as a KISS mode TNC in the shack. USB powered or 12 VDC supply and has a GPS port as well as a Comm port. Depends on which daughter board you buy it sells for about $60.00 to $100 (http://tnc-x.com/). This would be a good way to get active in the digital world and able to send and receive 'real' emails over ham radio on the WL2K system (VE3GWS-10 on 145.07 MHz.).

There seemed to be a fair amount of interest, of all the feedback I received I choose three kits for us to pick from; or if you know of one send me a link and I can add it to the list. If you are interested in doing a kit build let me know which kit you are interested in doing... Happy building Terry www.tubesandmore.com <http://www.tubesandmore.com> Click thumbnail for larger image $39.95 K-488 <http://www.tubesandmore.com/scripts/foxweb.dll/moreinfo@d:/dfs/elevclients/ cemirror/ELEVATOR.FXP?item=K-488> Kit - Wireless Transmitter Now your antique radio can play some of the same programs it did when it was new! With your cassette tape player, phonograph or high output microphone, this one tube transmitter becomes a miniature AM broadcasting station, patterned after the 1939 Zenith model S-7000 Wireless Record Player. Assemble on a 4 x 6 1/2" breadboard, all parts and instructions included. 2 lbs. These are SCAF filters.
