Mark, this may or may not help...
Depends on the traffic type & more.

In the 2.0c the APRS function does not like APRS packets when APRS is
not configured (my presumption).  It crashes jnos.
Try the following in autoexec.nos after configuring the ports:

# NOTE: two bug avoidance specials follow...
# Disable beacon on HF to avert bug known in 2005 / repaired per
jnos2.0e
ax25 bcport ptcpro off
mbox mport ptcpro off
# Set APRS - specify only one to avoid crash from bug repaied in
jnos2.0d#?
aprs logon call k8rra
