I have some perl scripts that take my OT USB in and out of KISS mode. Because the OT works as both a stand alone tracker while not in KISS mode and as a KISS TNC when the netbook is connected, I need to put it in KISS mode to use with the netbook and software such as Xastir and YAAC (and take it out upon exit). http://www.175moonlight.com/APRS/K5DAT-OTUSB-KISS-scripts.zip I expect them to work with the tracker3's USB port as well. I added some GNU verbage and posted them at the link above. Hopefully I didn't mangle anything when I added the comment text :-) I use a shell script to first run the KISS-on script, then Xastir, then the KISS-off script. The perl scripts use the Device::SerialPort perl module, so they do not use Minicom or any separate application to communicate with the serial port. The KISS-ON script is admittedly a monstrosity, mainly because it is descended from a Kantronics version where I really had to "beat on the TNC" to get its attention. It's been working fine for me with the OTUSB even if it is overkill. Regards, Lee - K5DAT P.S. I am more motivated to post this item for the benefit off potentially many list readers who may find it useful with their Argent trackers as opposed the benefit of one individual. _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
