<div>Since we seem to have narrowed the delayed position problem down to igates running kpc3 plus TNCs in KISS mode, the solution seems to be to power them down every once in a while. Of course Kantronics fixing the firmware would be nice, but I'm quite certain they'd charge for it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A cheaper solution may be to buy a digital timer. The "roundy roundy" timers with pegs that pop up have a minimum off time of 15 minutes. The digital ones have a min time of 1 minute. The digital ones also don't loose time during power outtages.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How's this sound....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) if you run your kpc3 off a 110v wall wart, plug the walwart into the timer and set it to turn on at 3am and off at 2:59am. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) if you run your kpc3 off 12v power supply and dont want to cycle the entire supply, then get a dual pole relay (DPDT or DPST) with a 120v coil. Wire your 12vdc thru the normally closed contacts such that when the relay is de-energized, there is power passing thru to your tnc. Plug the coil into the digital wall timer and program it to come ON for 1 minute each night. For example, make it come on at 3am and off at 3:01am. When the timer is ON, the TNC will be OFF. Why do it this way? If your power is out and you are running on batteries, the relay won't inhibit the TNC from getting power.</div>
