I took a look at the Kenwood instruction set for the TNC and it was not obvious to me what the TNC commands would be to obtain GPS data to see why Xastir might think it is stale or unavailable, so I will need some help with the exact TNC instructions. 73, Harry Bloomberg W3YJ [email protected] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
