When I was a kid I did packet radio on a Mac LC, MFJ TNC (it could receive WEFAX as well), and a 2meter HT. Good times. I've used just a regular dumb terminal connected to the TNC as well.
I’m in the process of learning Ham radio and also into vintage macintosh setups. This is the exact video and setup I was wondering about. Did you end up being able to connect and do both Send and Receive traffic from your Macintosh SE/30?
