I would say there are probably a lot of lurkers out here that would like to see
more robust TNC support. As others have mentioned, D-Rats is the Swiss
Army Knife for us, but it is still an uphill battle for some groups to add
D-Star support. Many folks have old TNC's gathering dust, we should blow
the dust off and use them with D-Rats! I for one would like to see:<br>
<br>
AX.25 support for UI frames via digi's and/or connected state via nodes<br>
Winlink services via RF to a RMS Packet station (would require connected state
of course)<br>
