After months of gathering pieces and trying to get time to tinker I think I've finally got everything figured out with connecting my PTC-II modem to my XFBB BBS so I can communicate over HF to distant lands. Right now I'm only setup to guard and call on a single frequency. I need to figure out the cabling to link my PTC-II modem to my Kenwood TS-480SAT for frequency control. Once that happens I will be able to have the modem to tell the radio to scan several frequencies and to call stations on particular frequencies.
For now I'm just trying to get my connections to the NTSD established so I can send and receive NTS traffic. I have plans, though, for future connections.
