<DIV><SPAN class=548234821-02092005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>One of the major
WIDE digis in our area is overdue for an update to the new paradigm.
Coincidentally, the owner of the digi wants to reclaim the TNC (not even sure
what it is, but it's old) for his personal use. So this gives us an opportunity
to update the digi by buying a new TNC and upgrading.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=548234821-02092005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I'm well aware that
the KPC-3+ is the defacto-standard, but they're still a tad expensive. One ham
pointed me to Elcom's line (<A
href="http://www.elcom.gr/">http://www.elcom.gr/</A>), but these are only in
Europe (though I'm sure they'll ship here). Their TNC-plus is US$128, which
seems like a decent price.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=548234821-02092005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I'd be interested
in other comments as to options or opnions on the various TNC options (note:
PC-based isn't an option in this situation). Also any tips on vendors selling
(who will ship to Canada) the various units.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=548234821-02092005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>P.S. I'm not
particular interested in a huge discussion on which is "best". Just options on
what can be used as a stand-alone New n-N digi at a decent
price.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
