Hello All,
Recently purchased the new VGC HT. They have a firmware update with KISS TNC. Has anyone been able to get Radio Mail to to work with this HT. Thanks for any assistance.
I don't know about the N75, but I've been testing the beta firmware v 0.7.10-1 on VGC VR-N76 and the BTECH UV-PRO.
While the KISS TNC is now accessible via the BLE specification and therefore available in RadioMail, I've experienced performance problems.
Mainly, the radio has a hard time decoding back-to-back frames, which are common in AX.25 connection-oriented mode like used for Winlink. This means that as the frames are lost, it leads to a lot of unnecessary retransmissions to complete a session.
Prior to this latest update, the transmission also had issues but now seems to be able to keep up better, so it seems that they are making incremental improvements.
I'm in touch with the firmware developer and have been providing feedback along the way. It's encouraging to see they are making progress.
I updated to Radiomail 1.4.0 and now I have problems connecting to Varrani. I turned off my firewall as it was interfering with Vara and Varrani but I stopped connecting with Varanni after a few succesful connections. How can I go back to version 1.3.5?
Thanks Georges , the N76 is the HT I was referring to. Thanks for looking into this. Hope to get RadioMail working with the this setup.
