<div>Please tell me more about the delays. Do they just affect KISS mode? Do they affect in-tnc digipeating? Do they affect CONVerse mode? This could be the delay issue we've been chasing for years.... the issue that I've thought was UI-View all this time!</div>

WC4PEM is a KPC-3+ running in KISS mode and if he doesn't reboot the TNC every week or so (sooner if APRS traffic gets heavy), it begins introducing delayed packets into the APRS-IS network. The easiest way to see this is on packets that include a timestamp. The packet will appear once via some other IGate and then again via WC4PEM with a 1-5 minute (yes, it has been up to 5 minutes) delay. The problem is only known to exist in KPC-3+, the non-plus and other Kantronics units do not seem to have the issue.<br>
<br>I have not experimented with the difference between AGW PE vs PEpro. I only quoted my experience with PEpro because that's what I run with all of my testing. I'm still hoping that the Pro version gets updated to catch up with the free version because I need to be able to specify a split input and output sound card channels complements of the differences in the way Windows 7 handles my audio devices now that I've added a Signalink USB.<br>
<br>The Pro version's KAM tone support works really well for me as I'm running it on 30m HF side-by-side with APRS Messenger (2100hz) with both of them running through an instance of my APRSIS32 for map visualization and Igate functions.

I haven't made time for this because apparently the KPC-3+ also has trouble when operated long term in KISS mode which is my preferred TNC interface.<br>
</blockquote><br>Where have you encountered KISS issues with the KPC3? I have a KAM (VHF side is essentially identical to a KPC3 while the HF side uses two independent switched-capacitor tone detector channels like classic RTTY "TU"s) -and- a KPC3+ in my ham "super server" VHF/HF igate-UIwebserver-APRN-Echolink setup. Picture and details here:<br>
<br><<a href="http://wa8lmf.net/EPIAserver" target="_blank">http://wa8lmf.net/EPIAserver</a>><br><br>Both run in KISS mode and have run for months at a time without any problems. The KAM in KISS mode provides two logical KISS data streams (one for HF, one for VHF) on a single physical serial port. They are then separated by AGWpe into separate AGW logical ports which are then used by different copies of UIview.<br>
<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br><br><br>Finally, you say you found AGWpe Pro to be the best performer. Have you compared it to the freeware version? I had assumed the main difference in the "Pro" version was the fancier GUI. Is there an actual difference in the decode performance?<br>
<br>I have been considering buying the Pro version, but mainly because it's HF mode uses the standard 1600/1800 Hz KAM/TNC2 HF tones instead of the 2100/2300 tones of the freeware version. (The higher tones can present problems with the limited passband of many HF SSB transceivers.)<br>
