[aprssig] "Battle of the TNCs" with WA8LMF's TNC Test CD?

[Steve Bragg]

APRSers,

I've searched the list archives, but I can't find anything on this.  Has 
anyone done comparisons of TNCs using Track 1/Track 2 of WA8LMF's TNC 
Test CD?  I'm trying to debug/benchmark the TNC for HamHUD V, but I only 
have the TNC-X and MFJ TNCs to compare it against (my KPC3+ died long 
ago).  I want to make sure it is decoding all right under stressful 
conditions.

I would like to have a decoded packet count on Track 1 (or Track 2) for 
any or all of the following TNCs (WITH PASSALL OFF):

- KPC-3+
- Kenwood TH-D7a
- Kenwood TM-D700
- Alinco DR-135t
- OpenTracker
- TNC-X  (I got 564 packets on Track 1)
- Any TAPR-2-like TNC (e.g., MFJ-1270B/C)
- PacComm

or anything else you can find.   

I know audio level matters some, but data with varying volumes is better 
than no data at all, at least to me.

The test only takes 25 minutes, and the CD is inexpensive/free, so hook 
those TNCs up to your CD player!

Thanks & 73,

Steve Bragg KA9MVA
