[aprssig] Suggestions for modem designs?

[Brian Riley]

  Rich, why not do it with one of John Hansen's TNC-X KISS TNC's  
(they are not very large and rather decently priced), rather than  
getting all bogged down writing and debugging HDLC code, just take  
FullDup.spin and adapt it to handle KISS ... IMHO, much lower "gray- 
hair quotient" project.

... and, of course, gotta ask, are you doing it on the PRC board? If  
you are and you want some more, contact me off list and I will make  
you a rock bottom deal as my contribution to the project.
