Hi Lynn, In theory, you can send the escape KISS command, the OT2 command and then follow up with "AMODE KISS" to re-enter normal operations. You may need to do a simple test to make sure the OT2 is not in KISS. One of the reasons I requested a TERMINAL option in APRSIS32 was so I would not have to exit APRSIS32, start Hyper Terminal, etc. Parsing out a possible command sequence appears to be straight forward on the GPS port. On the KISS port, I think there is the issue of a character sequence that could be real data. I am not too sure about that though. Hmm, thinking about the overall scheme, I suspect the APRS data from a PC currently goes straight to the APRS engine for sending. IT I have your thoughts correct, if a message sent from APRSIS32 to an local callsign-ssid, such as N7FMH-T2, a simple check for "T2" would intercept the command. I bet it requires some of that valuable RAM. Best regards, Fred

I know I like being able to re-configure from the Nuvi, why not via KISS?
