Sound Card or Serial TNC
 

I am looking to take the plunge into the world of Digital. I have had some
experience with PACTOR II - Icom 702 while cruising in the Carib --- but
that was just a "plug-and-play" solution for eMail when away from land.

Aside from cost, are there are any major performance / reliability / issues
when comparing Sound card VS serial interfaced TNCs for (other than Pactor)
digital communications. I don't have any particular area of interest
yet ---- just exploring the possibilities. I will be playing around with
APRS, HF and VHF packet and anything else that strikes my fancy.

Thanks

To get "into" the world of digital, you'll need to get your finger "out"!

(Does communication break up or break down?!)
