AGW Packet Engine – utility for amateur radio operators, who runs a radio modem. The program uses several controllers, allows you to simply connect to the sound card on the lin. Entrance earpiece and microphone output and set the network works with AGWPE packages, and DX cluster, APRS, Digipeater programs.

It is a special Windows utility for amateur radio packet users that interfaces multiple packet programs and multiple TNCs (Terminal Node Controllers) / modems.

– lets one TNC be used by more than one packet program
– lets one packet program use more than one TNC
– lets your sound card be used as a physical TNC or modem — no need to buy a TNC
– has an optional ‘TCP/IP Over Radio’ feature that lets you send TCP/IP data sentences via packet to internet gateways
Packet Engine Pro will only work with packet programs that have been written to take advantage of AGWPE but there are many, including terminal, DX cluster, APRS, and digipeater programs. Packet Engine Pro requires a $49 USD fee after a free 30 day trial, but it includes many features, including some that are not and will not be found in the basic AGWPE.
