Well, finally figured it out myself. The Keyspan software comes with a
little debugging tool. Ran it and came up with a device name of
/dev/cu.USA19H1d1P1.1
I changed the name in the config file and now I am getting the GPS data
from the radio.
Cheers and 73

I finally got the UT-123 digital/GPS upgrade for my Icom 2820H rig.
I am using the OPC-1529R data cable with Data turned on. I have
several GPS related programs and on each one of them, I am able to use
the NMEA0183 GPS data from the radio with no problem, with one
exception, Xastir. In the config file I set up a new GPS config as
follows:
/dev/cu.usbserial with a baud rate of 4800. This is the same
configuration as on everyone of my other GPS programs.
I also tried /dev/cu.usbserial-USA19H1d1P1.1 which is the
Keyspan serial port name.
According to ICOM the data port on the radio is fixed at 9600 baud, I
originally tried that on all my GPS programs and none of them saw the
NMEA data. Once I changed the settings to 4800 in the programs, the
data stream showed up.
I have tried setting the radio to both GPS and GPS-A with similar
results.
I have tried different USB ports.
I am just toying with some of the capabilities of the radio. There is
some discussion on the Icom forums to have the Data out of the radio,
go into a TNC, then back in the Analog side of the radio for APRS.
Seems feasible. John at Coastal Chipworks has a board adapter that
also incorporates DGPS just for this, to go in his TNC-X. My feelings
are the radio is far too expensive to use APRS w/o running through a
laptop and get the benefits of a program like Xastir.
I would appreiate anyones thought.
