I've got a new Kenwood TH-D72 that I've interfaced to Xastir. It's working except for one problem. Xastir is unable to obtain GPS data from the TH-D72. Whenever I do View->GPS, I see an error message: GPS data is older than 30 seconds.
The frustrating thing is that at one time I was getting GPS data from the TH-D72, but cannot any more. The iGPS icon on the HT's display is blinking, and I can see position when I hit the POS key on the front of the rig, so I do believe I have valid GPS data. And yes, I did enable output of GPS data in menu 202 of the TH-D72. Details: OS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Xastir version: 2.0.1 built from CVS source Hardware: Dell Mini 10 1012 netbook Interface files: using same files as THD7...they seem close enough to work for TH-D72...yes, I enabled the four lines at the bottom of the startup file for use of the HT's GPS. Xastir is a way cool APRS client, I especially like the Open Source maps. All else is working except for this issue. 73, Harry Bloomberg W3YJ [email protected] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
