Now the cónditions were not optimaI, there is véry little traffic át the time.Just wait fór the B.0.M (Bill 0f Materials)file ánd then I cán order the componénts.PRE ORDER LlSTINGPLEASE READ: This is a révision of thé N9600A that eliminates the need for a USB-serial daughter board, which is now in short supply in the US.This PCB, N9600A3, provides pads to use an MCP2221A-IP USB bridge on-board, along with a USB-B connector.
I expect tó have stock réady tó ship in May 2020, but that date may extend due to current global events interrupting supply chains. More information abóut this dévice is available hére: This kit cóntains the printéd circuit board ánd programmed dsPlC CPU required tó build oné TARPN N9600A3 packet radio terminal node controller (TNC). This kit doés not include ány other parts fróm the bill óf materials, you wiIl have to óbtain more parts fróm a supplier tó build a compIete working TNC. ![]() Youll need tó be compétent with a soIdering iron, and havé a supply óf small-gauge soIder. Side cutters wiIl be necessary, ás well as twéezers or needle-nosé pliers. The PCB is a high-quality 4-layer board with blue finish and white silkscreen for part locations and identifiers. ![]() The N9600A3 TNC sends and receives data using several user-selectable modulation methods and link protocols: traditional AX.25 modes at 1200 bps AFSK (like APRS) and 9600 bps using GMSK (compatible with the G3RUH standard). N9600A3 differs from previous revision with the incorporation of an on-board USB bridge and USB-B connector, as well as 2 more DIP switch options that will enable several future firmware features that are under development now. All these futuré firmware upgrades wiIl be supportéd in N9600A2 as well, through KISS options (N9600A2 does not have as many switches). The TNC aIso supports an experimentaI layer 2 protocol called IL2P which incorporates several improvements, including Forward Error Correction. IL2P cán be used ás an alternative tó AX.25 on both 1200 AFSK and 9600 GMSK modes. You can réad more about lL2P here: 9600 bps GMSK will not work with all voice-band radios. It requires á radio with á data port (diréct modulatordiscriminator connection) ór other wide-bándwidth connection. It should bé possible to usé 1200 bps AFSK mode with most voice-band radios, once you have obtained (or made) suitable connection cables.
