SMT TARPN NinoTNC

Standby, the SMT NinoTNC is coming back...


The SMT TARPN NinoTNC is a fully assembled, flashed and tested version of the famous TARPN NinoTNC created by Nino Carillo KK4HEJ. Nino has given us full permission to develop this version and sell it. He has even lended a hand in testing prototype units with his standard rigourous testing standards that he uses on his own version. The TARPN NinoTNC uses the KISS protocol to communicate with the host computer, making it universally compatiable with most packet/APRS/WinLink software. The SMT version is 100% compatiable with the original TARPN NinoTNC firmware, thus making it compatiable with future firmware revisions.
Key Features:
  • Fully assembled and tested
  • Sized to fit perfectly on a Raspberry Pi 2/3/4
  • Easily stack multiple units to support multi-nodes/radios
  • Runs standard TARPN NinoTNC firmware (and future updates/releases)
  • Capable of over-the-air data rates 1200 AFSK, 2400 APSK, 4800 GFSK and 9600 G3RUH baud
  • IL2P Forward Error Correction (FEC) capable for any mentioned data rate
  • MiniDIN radio interface (industry standard pinout)
  • Standard USB B Connector for interface to computer/host device
  • FTDI USB-Serial Interface IC (drivers pre-loaded in all major operating systems)
  • Firmware updates are performed via the on-board USB interface when released by Nino KK4HEJ
  • Fully configured via on-board DIP switches
  • Optional Raspberry Pi Pin Interface
  • TTL Interface for direct serial interfacing, not requiring USB
  • Audio routing switch to pass receive audio from either 1200 or 9600 baud pins on the MiniDIN radio port (no need to modify your cables)
