Profiles seem to be an issue for many people.
During testing enable status beacon on all
packets in both profiles. Put a P1 and P2
respectively in both profiles. You can then
quickly see which profile is being used.
Example of one of my packets:
Raw packet:
KC5EVE>APOT21,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2,qAR,KC5EVE-12:!/?...@#6@{9>H;G/A=000056
Cheavens.com P1
As you can see I am sending altitude....I could
send you my config file privately if you would
like. (It is at home on my programming computer)

Hmm, the "turning on" of the status with the
altitude box checked still didn't get the Nuvi
to display the altitude. I should add that I
got one of those 'odd happenings' in the config
program where when clicking the tabs between
profile 1 and 2 the 'status' check button
repeatedly switched back to being checked in the
'comment' section so I'm not sure it was
actually written to the OT+ with the status configuration enabled.
That changing settings when switching between
profiles seems to be a common and frustrating 'feature' in otwincfg.
This isn't a deal breaker for me. I really like
flying the OT+ in balloons and we can get the
altitude data from our Kenwood D7 HTs - it'd
just be nice to have the info displayed on the
Nuvi 350 while chasing and recovering.
Any other ideas?

That just might work. I'll try that. Thanks, Mark!

I can't remember in the config if you can get
the altitude into a status packet (I think you can).
You can read status messages on the T2/Nuvi350

seen it come across the Yahoo

had high-jacked another thread with this and
apologize for that. I would, however, like to
figure out a way to see my balloon flights altitude on my Nuvi.

I run a Kenwood TH-G71 HT with a Garmin 18 and
an OT+ on high altitude balloon flights. Using
my T2-135 in the Alinco 2 meter mobile
connected to a Garmin Nuvi 350 I cannot see an
altitude display on the Nuvi. I would like to
be able to extract that info while chasing the balloon for recovery.
Is there some way I can either pull that info
via the Nuvi or change some setting in the OT+
so that it does display altitude?
The OT+ is just a few months old.
