In packet mode it should be looking for data from outside sources(whatever software U run for packet or APRS. When in APRS mode it should be receiving data from its own gps and firmware running APRS. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

When the HT is in APRS or non-digital mode (no D on display), I'm seeing *lots* of GPS data. But when the rig is in Packet mode, I see no GPS data. Unfortunately there's not a lot of APRS activity in Pittsburgh right now, but it looks like in APRS mode, GPS data and incoming packets are passed through the USB port to minicom. So perhaps when connecting to Xastir, I should have the rig in APRS mode. I find this all counterintuitive, but this is what I'm observing on my TH-D72. It's late, I'll continue the testing tomorrow night. But, thanks for the tip, this is a bit of a breakthrough for me. 73, Harry Bloomberg W3YJ [email protected] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
