No, as far as I know, the VS3 doesn't give info *from* athe TNC.  It gives info like frequency, S-meter, and menu settings; that would include the packet settings menus.

You need to interface it with a computer to run any of the digital modes.

  Hi group;
  Seems I'm seeing more and more ts2000 used out there.  I've been very 
  fortunate or blessed that I never had a problem with used gear.
  Someone earlier mentioned that the vs3 gives info from the tnc.  You still 
  need to connect a pc to actually use the tnc correct?  Is the vs3 info just 
  basic menu info?
