It's been a while since I dug out my 6 old PK-88's sitting in a box somewhere. <BR>
<BR>
But, according to my manual, they are suppose to have 2 internal AA batteries for RAM backup. <BR>
<BR>
First start by making sure your batteries are good so as to help with setting loses.<BR>
<BR>
Next, I also used to have an intermitent problem with my Kantronics KPC3's slipping out of KISS mode, until I did this....<BR>
<BR>
In my autoexec.nos file, where I attach ttyS0 and ttyS1, I added the jnos "COMM" command to reset the tnc's everytime I ran JNOS. <BR>
<BR>
Here are my specific line commands... Note the lines staring with "COMM"<BR>
