PACKET OPERATION

Connect this transceiver to your personal computer via a Terminal Node Controller (TNC) {page 6}. You can send Email to far away stations or obtain a variety of information via your local bulletin boards, or you may enjoy other Packet applications. Reference material for starting Packet operation should be available at any store that handles Amateur Radio equipment.
