Some of the functions on the Mike Keypad will not work, If everything is
working correctly, you should see Dispatch on the Nuvi instead of where to.

Well, I seem to have finally gotten the radio to communicate with the
nuvi. However, I am not transmitting a packet (or anything, for that
matter). I can hit a digi from my computer desk with my D7 HT so I'm quite
sure the Alinco connected to a J-pole in the attic can hit it too. Also,
when I run the config program with the tuning diagnostics I cannot hear any
tones when clicking the config program's PTT button.
The keypad on the microphone for the Alinco no longer works, either.
I can no longer open the local 2 meter voice repeaters with this radio
either.
Did I brick my radio as far as transmitting? It seems to be putting out
NOTHING!

DR-135. When I connect the Argent serial cable from the radio to the side
port of the Nuvi (power is through the cradle) and turn both on I do not see
any "Dispatch" button or other indication the two are talking.
When I first installed my T2-135 board in my DR-135 I had a devil of a
time getting it to do *anything* (couldn't connect with otwincfg,
etc). I tried everything I could think of related to troubleshooting
physical cabling, PC serial ports, etc, and finally the solution was
to do a factory reset on the DR-135. After that it has been working
flawlessly. Not sure if this reset issue is common or just something
specific to my radio. If Scott has already programmed the T2-135 for
you, perhaps all you need to do is a factory reset on your Alinco?
The procedure to do a reset is to hold down the FUNC button while
powering the radio on. Note that this will ERASE any settings and
memories from the DR-135. That's how I got mine working anyway, hope
that helps.
