It's funny you mention that Jason, the two FTDI's I had both failed within a year. Keyspan keeps rocking- installed its drivers and can hot swap the connection all day (just checked to confirm), so I still don't understand how you misconfigured your machine. Maybe not the newest drivers? If you

Re: [Xastir] Macintosh Snow Leopard + Xastir 2 + Kenwood TM-D710A = ?

I think the Prolific is actually working okay now. I just need to see about the startup and shutdown "scripts" that Xastir uses, I think. Is there a D710-specific one? The Xastir wiki discusses one for the D700. 73 de KC2KOA. On Apr 14, 2011 12:48 AM, "Chase Turner" wrote: > On Wed, Apr 13, 20

No, I have it on "serial with GPS on aux port" now. I tried that and KISS the first time around when I didn't know about the driver. On Apr 13, 2011 11:39 AM, "David Flood" wrote: > -Original Message- >>From: Jarett DeAngelis >>Sent: Apr 12, 2011 8:58 PM >>Problems I have now: >> >>GPS d

The GPS data not passing I believe is a problem with the Kenwood? No idea there. Search the archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/xastir@xastir.org/ I downloaded my maps from http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ I seem to recall having to find a hidde

Re: [Xastir] Macintosh Snow Leopard + Xastir 2 + Kenwood TM-D710A = ?

This driver did the trick of connecting to the TNC! It caused a new device to show up in /dev and I was able to use that. Problems I have now: GPS data is not passing through. OpenStreetMaps don't seem to be an option, though I thought I compiled in support. The default maps don't seem to down

Even if that device doesn't exist in /dev? The serial device DOES show up in System Profiler, though. On Apr 12, 2011 11:32 PM, "Nick" wrote: > Try this in the TNC Port: /dev/cu.USA19H3d1P1.1 > > Cheers, > > Nick > > > On 4/12/11 8:25 PM, Jeremy McDermond wrote: >> On Apr 12, 2011, at 7:57 PM, Ja

In fact, /dev doesn't change at all when I plug the adapter in, though it does get detected in System Profiler. On Apr 12, 2011 11:32 PM, "Nick" wrote: > Try this in the TNC Port: /dev/cu.USA19H3d1P1.1 > > Cheers, > > Nick > > > On 4/12/11 8:25 PM, Jeremy McDermond wrote: >> On Apr 12, 2011, at 7:

I can't speak to what the proper settings are for the Kenwood, but I can tell you I never could get any serial/USB to work other than the Keyspan one. Maybe if I had fought it harder, I could have gotten the prolific to work- but I did everything I read about drivers, various serial ports and vers

Hi gang, I'm trying to figure out how to get my Kenwood TM-D710A working with Xastir on my Snow Leopard-powered Mac. I have a Prolific Technology serial-USB Kenwood cable that I know works at least to program the radio with under Windows. I know the programming cable doubles as a TNC connecti
