====== Brief Comparison of TNCs (2014) ======

===== TNC-X =====
  * I recommend this TNC
    * relatively inexpensive
    * **only** has kissmode, no command mode
    * easy to set up
    * Can be powered from a USB port
    * Similar design to the TNC-Pi for the Raspberry PI

===== Kantronics KPC3+ =====
  * Works well but has a buffer wrap bug in firmware that Kantronics has not acknowledged (as of 1/20/2014)
  * Expensive, compared to other 1200 baud TNCs. 
  * Has many modes of operation including command, KISS, PBBS, KA-Node, Slave mode
  * Requires a 12 V power source

===== Byonics TinyTrak 4 =====
  * I spent some time vetting this TNC because I like it a lot but it drops back to back packets in the same test that TNC-X & KPC3+ do not.
    * Many HAMS claim this TNC works well as a Winlink TNC ... but I'm not one of them.
    * Good APRS TNC

===== Argent Data OpenTracker =====
  * I do not own this TNC but based on [[http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/opentracker/conversations/topics/6402 | this link]] I do  **not** believe it will handle connection oriented protocols like B2F.
    * It has a good rep as an APRS TNC.
