I am able to connect to the TH-D72 using minicom and a USB cable. Would it be of any value for me to manually query the TH-D72's TNC for GPS data? 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.
I don't know what the TNC commands should be, but sending a Control-E character from Minicom should cause the radio to dump the GPS string to you if the TNC in the radio is set properly to capture it. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
