SPRINT A low cost, high performance packet controller. AD-4, SPRINT-2, as well as bringing out new products. clearer style, updated the circuit boards for the TINY-2, MC-NB96. Since our last catalog we have re-written several product manuals in a new. In order to better identify our TNC, we had a callsign badge vendor make a nameplate with the words, 'Minaiture TNC by PacComm.' As you see in the cover photo, the name badge was larger than the TNC! Total View of Wodd's Smallest Packet Station NewPmducts """""""'"""""""- Continuous product improvement is the policy at PacComm. Standard teamed it with a Hewlett Packard HP-100 palm-top computer and their new C108A radio and put the entire thing under a plastic dome in their display. Instead Bob Klock in our Engineering shop custom built a 1200 baud AX.25 TNC in a case only 2.5 x 4.0 x.75 inches using some of our commercial surface mount boards. They were aware of the HandiPacket on the MIR Space Station and called PacComm to see if a HandiPacket would be available for use in their display. To demonstrate how small it is, they wanted to put together a very compact packet station. World's Smallest Packet Station " Standard Communications introduced a super-miniature handheld radio at Dayton this past Spring. After removing the pins from the socket a new EPROM was installed and the HandiPacket came right to life and worked perfectly. As for the HandiPacket: Upon removing the case the EPROM body was found with the pins sheared off. The GPS circuit board was broken in half. What was left? The camcorder was smashed, the 440 MHz radio was badly battered. The balloon was tracked well by the MacAPRS program to an altitude of 86,000 feet, whereupon it burst and decended some 14 miles at terminal velocity. Recently they launched one which had the lift to carry an 8mm video camcorder, GPS receiver, 440 MHz radio and packet TNC (the HandiPacket). Seems David's group likes to launch high altitude balloons - big ones. Some lnterestin Stories ToughEnuf! David Chesser, KA9NHL, tells this fascinating story about apaccomm HandiPacket. PacComm Packet Radio Systems has been designing and manufacturing a wide variety of wireless data communications equipment for the amateur radio and commercial markets since Tens of thousands of units are in use around the world in many diverse applications. 2 Thank you for your interest in PacComm amateur radio products.
