Ok, I've got a general understand of AX.25, but I'm having a tough time figuring out why I'm getting this. I have a PK-88 at my desk, with an ADI HT-204 (Same as a radio shack HTX-204 and an ADI AT-600), and out in the parking lot is my car, with an FT-7800 and PK-12. (In the winter months, it's my Jeep with an FT-7800 and KPC-2, which doesn't seem to exhibit this issue.) I digipeat thru the car to get to our Flexnet nodes. I've replaced callsigns with "tacticool" handles for opsec.
If you look down maybe 2/3 thru the capture, after the => prompt, you can see where Flexnet is polling my station, and my station isn't responding. Here's the weird thing, it was happening yesterday morning, yet sometime in the afternoon, it stopped polling and I stayed connected. I figure since the only part that changed was the TNC in the car, I should try another TNC, but it's still bugging me why this is happening. I wonder if the PK-12 is stripping something from the frame, and my PK-88 is not seeing a need to reply.
Hopefully there are a couple people who understand what I'm talking about.
