Here is what MFJ has to say about this item:

TNC-X -- An Inexpensive TNC for VHFPacket and APRS!

TNC-X is a low-cost, low power TNC currently deployed in thousands of locations all over the world. Just connect your FM radio and your computer and the world of digital packet radio is yours to enjoy. TNC-X is a self-contained TNC, not a computer sound card interface that ties up your computer's resources.

Supports KISS mode . . . The Easy path to Packet Radio

TNC-X is a KISS mode TNC. It works with every packet radio software program that supports KISS mode. These days, that makes it compatible with almost everything in packet radio. Unlike some other TNC's, you never have to worry about it ?accidentally? falling out of KISS mode. KISS mode makes it extremely simple to use. There are no complicated menus of parameters to adjust. You just plug it in and it works!

Takes Advantage of Your Computer?s USB Port

TNC-X is a genuine USB TNC, not a TNC with an outboard serial to USB converter added to it. As a result, when you plug it into a USB port on your computer, it derives its power from the USB port. You need not provide a separate power connection. For those who want to use it with older computers, it also supports a separate conventional serial port. You can even switch back and forth between USB and serial if you like. TNC-Xs USB port works with all major computer operating systems including Windows (all versions after 95, including 64-bit), Mac OS X (as well as Mac OS 8 and 9), and Linux.

Uses Advanced Demodulation

TNC-X beats the competition in decoding packets from poorly adjusted transmitters. You get a built-in active audio filter in front of the TNC?s modem to clean up analog signals before they are digitized, substantially improving demodulation performance. TNC-X also supports true software DCD. You can leave the squelch of the radio connected to TNC-X open for very fast transmit/receive turnaround times.

Fully Supports APRS™ and EmComm Applications

TNC-X is a natural for emergency communications and is being used in this application across the country and around the world. It is fully compatible with Winlink 2000 both on the server side and on the client side. Just specify KISS mode in your PacLink MP or RMS software and you'?re ready to roll!

TNC-X is perfect for APRS™

Fully supported by virtually every APRS™ mapping program in use today. It provides a truly low cost mechanism for mapping the locations of other amateur radio stations.

The "X" is for expandable!

TNC-X contains an expansion header that allows you to add daughter boards to provide entirely new capabilities. Add the MFJ-1270DG X-Digi board and convert TNC-X into a modern, remotely configurable digipeter. With TNC-X, you only buy the capabilities you need. You don'?t pay for features that you will never use.

Plug and Play! Plug-and-play . . . compatible with all of MFJ'?s TNC to radio cables (like the MFJ-5022), as well as MFJ?'s USB A to USB B cable. Add an inexpensive MFJ-1270DG X-Digi Board and you?'ve got a Digipeter!

NOTE ABOUT FACTORY DISPLAY UNITS:

USED: ebay requires items that have been used as retail displays to be listed as "used", even if they have never been sold. This item has never been sold or placed into service. This is a fully-functional unit that was used as a static display either in MFJ's offices or as part of MFJ's hamfest display booth. As such, it may have cosmetic scuffs or scrapes on the cabinet, it may have some extra, tiny holes (usually two at the most) in the cabinet from security brackets on the hamfest displays. Hamfest displays often had a "show sticker" applied to the cabinet. If so, those have been removed, and there may be some adhesive residue left where the sticker once was. Goo-Gone and rubbing with a thumbnail will usually remove all or most of the residue. The residue is a cosmetic thing only. Some case screws may be missing, or may be mismatched.

The photos here are of the actual item being sold, not "stock" photos. Please look closely at the photos, as those are the best guide to the cosmetic condition of the cabinet or case. If you'd like, you can always repaint the cabinet with readily available matte-finish black paint.

As a demo/display unit, there is no factory warranty, but there is a 30 day warranty from FatCat.Parts on items sold as Used. Warranty does not cover cosmetics, it covers only the functionality of the item. No factory packaging or paperwork is included.

On all demo/display units, what is being sold is what is seen in the photos. If it is not in the photos, it is not included, unless the listing specifies it is included.
