I bought a TNC-Pi kit and built it, but honestly, found that
a software modem (direwolf, in my case) worked better and more
reliably.  Direwolf will run something like 7 decoders in parallel
and deduplicate the results; it will also apply some heuristics
to try and recover from 1- and 2-bit errors, use heuristics based
on known parts of packets, etc.  I've found it's superior at
demodulating more packets relative to a hardware TNC.

I use mine with a Tigertronics SignaLink USB sound card and an
old ICOM monobander I bought from a friend.
