FTM-350 Dual TNC

[ab4d]

Has anyone used a second TNC with the FTM-350? Like while using the internal TNC for APRS, running an additional TNC (in my case a KPC 3 non plus ver 5.1) for packet messaging? It appears it should work based on the data cable wiring. I just wanted to know if anyone else has tried this or is it possible.

I was looking at various schemes to do mobile APRS mapping and packet, and APRS Point appears to work well. I believe the program can perform APRS mapping and point to point packet messaging at the same time, but requires access to a TNC for both, which the internal TNC won't do standard packet.

Thanks.

I use a SignalLink USB Model SLUSB6PM with a Yaesu CT-141 adapter cable(8pin to 6 pin). I use it with AGWTracker and AGWPE. It works really well. You can use your own custom maps with AGWTracker. It is a great step up from UI-View. Here is where you can get the programs.

Here is a great site for setting up the software.
