Thanks Curtis, I will give it a go later today, your advice is much appreciated. I need to hit the shop and make the cross cable. I will take notes for others. Good tip on the KISS settings.

This way you can still console in on port A for programming changes. I have used the same ssid and just eliminated any RF beaconing in uiview and left it up to the OT2. In uiview I set the Internet beacon to once every minute so that my icon updates itself with my USB gps. Handy if there aren't any digipeaters to repeat your own beacon. Have use it this way as a mobile igate for a couple of balloon chases in the past few weeks.

Wondering if anyone has used a splitter cable to operate one port for the Nuvi 350 and the other for an igate/UIview32. I am guessing a null/cross to Com1 for the computer for DTE/DCE and am ok with that. But what about the configuration? Com A set to Garmin or would it be Com B? What callsign SSID on the OT2, different than the computer SSID? Thanks for the replies, just thought I would add some excitement to the area where I am by adding a mobile IGate for special events etc. John KB4YFK, FM17
