Some local hams were talking about putting a KPC-3+ TNC in
"Converse" mode on the air locally here for some APRS stuff they
were doing.
It's been years and years since I did any packet, but were they
really meaning KISS mode?
They said they needed to hit "K" from a KPC-3's command prompt, if
that's any help.
They were bemoaning that they couldn't keep the TNC *in* that mode,
and their software for WX monitoring needed it.
So... I figured I'd go ask the Debian packet gurus and see what
they're doing incorrectly and try to help them out...
Converse mode != KISS.
Converse mode is the mode you enter after making a packet
connection. A Ctrl-C will cause the TNC to switch from converse to
command mode and either the CONVERSE command or its shortcut "K" will
switch from command mode to converse mode (this describes how the
TAPR command set works and I believe Kantronics firmware is
functionally equivalent).
