Began looking into this on 04/03/2025:
Local contact: Eric Herson, WF8E, esrh11@gmail.com, lives in Decatur at 2195 W Ponce de Leon Ave (33°46'24"N 84°18'50"W) Have ordered 2 NinoTNC boards from Etsy and the parts for the 2 boards from Mouser. Parts from Mouser for one NinoTNC have been received. Will build two nodes and connect them as suggested in TARPN instructions without radios for initial testing and setup. The TX from each NinoTNC is connected to the RX on the other NinoTNC. Also connect the Grounds together. No PTT connection is needed. Have prepared two 16GB microSD cards for the RasPi's needed. One with host name N4TTY-2 and the other with host name KJ4QIB-2. Still need to complete configuration for TARPN after first boot on the RasPi's.
