The PK232 may require the MBX, MBX firmware, PSK , and/or low power upgrade
Kantronics KAM requires firmware v6 or higher.

Test the internet connection
![Page 23: Tutorial by VE7DIE, Larry Joe Prepared: Jan 2, 2006 for AIRMAIL Workshop.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649ea45503460f94ba890b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Test the packet connection
First, turn on the VHF Packet Client
![Page 24: Tutorial by VE7DIE, Larry Joe Prepared: Jan 2, 2006 for AIRMAIL Workshop.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649ea45503460f94ba890b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Test the packet initialization
Next, the TNC should initialize properly – if it doesn’tcheck cables, baud rate. Make sure you have theright TNC selected in the AIRMAIL setup.If it still doesn’t initialize, you may not have updated EPROMS in your TNC and the HOST mode is not supported. You need to get updated firmware.
