  1. It's back to the future for packet radio. I just reflashed my Kantronics KAM-XL (vintage 2005 or so) with new firmware.

    After a few mistakes - Kantronics wasn't expecting a .hex file with Unix line terminators, and there were an awkward few minutes when it would say "upload now" then "upload failed" right after - my TNC now boots up with a version from August 2024.

    Who knew they were still doing development?
