True, I paid over 300 quid for my first PK232MBX, but at the time I could

I would not say that it is dead ....
just no longer the flavour of the month / year.
most folks have gone on the internet - a lot faster !!
I did run 9k6 tcp/ip and AX25@ 9k6 but when you could get the same
sort of thing on the internet (DX cluster etc) at a high speed, more
reliable
and the equipment was comparatively cheaper than the radio, TNC, 9k6
modem.
And who needs a TNC now ? software for sound cards will do it and
most have or can find a 486 to run the stuff on.
Still I though £25 was about the right value to ask. Looks like Dave will be
getting his TNC back then.

Yes the KPC'3 were / are a bargain if you want them !!

I think the TNCs are better than the soundcards and software,
atleast that's my opinion. I wish I could get the latest update
proms, version 8.2 for the KPC3. Seems Kantronics quit
selling this version about two weeks after I picked one up at
a hamfest and were unwilling to sell me the proms. They told
me to pitch it and buy the new KPC3+. I don't want to do that
as the KPC3 with the version 8.2 proms will do what I want it
for. I think they made/make a quality product but their
support, lately really sucks, I hate to give in and buy the
KPC3+ but if I can't find the version 8.2 proms, I probably
will.
