    There is a book specific to AX.25, although whether it is still in print
    is a good question. The book in question is "AX.25 Packet Radio Link
    Layer Protocol" and explains exactly how the AX.25 protocol works. Also,
    failing that, just remember that AX.25 is the LAP-B subset of the HDLC
    protocol that is defined by international standard, and one can work out
    the relevant details by referring to the HDLC standard and taking the
    LAP-B subset whherever a choice is presented.

    For a less technical (and probably much more understandable) approach, try
    http://www.rsgb.org/shop/acatalog/RSGB_On_Line_Shop_Packet___APRS_18.html
    or the equivalent on the ARRL website or your national society if it has
    one.

    No problem.

    Best wishes from Riley.
