You can also run D-PRS Interface on your PC with an APRS client using the GPS. If you do this, set the ID-800 in Data mode (essentially turn off GPS mode). This will let you see everyone on D-STAR too, including everyone that is running another APRS client and everyone running GPS-A mode. Hope this helps. 73, Pete Loveall AE5PL
