Working on another TNC sent in by an awesome subscriber...this beast is the AEA PK232MBX.. interfaced to a old beat up ICOM IC-F5013H VHF mobile. AEA PK232MBX works great when it wants too...but very temperamental, which i am trying sort out... seems she may have a few bad solder connections. Nothing my trusty Weller soldering iron can't repair ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmlzsUdV-P4
I know you have wanting to try your hands at more digital modes, so i said to myself, i got the parts, why not build ya one! Enjoy buddy, wish lots of DX contacts with it!

The AM modification i would not recommend for this radio due to major intermod interference thruout the band 118-136mhz. Although the radio can receive the aircraft band on AM, it does not work all that great.
Also, 140-150mhz is the stock transmit frequency range from ICOM right out of the box, their is no way to alter the ranger to 144-148mhz transmit only. Strange i know.
