So far I haven't seen any GPS data. On the APRS P list I'm getting a good time reflected (Z time), but a bunch of zero's for the posit, heading, and speed (RMC fix). I built the small patch cable going from the GPS to the mic-e, as follows: GPS-30 Mic-E Pin 4 (serial output) Pin 3 Pin 3 (serial input) Pin 2 Pin 5 (ground) Pin 5 I am using both the Mac and DOS versions of Mic-E program and that seems to be working just fine. My programming changes are permed. I saw at least one mic-e tx that showed my callsign, then a "P0PPP-3" (that's a zero). I didn't recognize this. The path settings are for RELAY,WIDE,WIDE and MSG 2 (In service). I've seen the "mic e inservice" transmission. What should I check next.

I bet it isn't which means that your GPS unit is not yet hearing the birds (like mine). I may be in error on the led color, read your manual--I dropped mine and broke the led so I have replaced the dual led with a single color led which now blinks once per second when it has locked onto the birds. Before that I only had a steady "yellow" light (both red and green on). I have had to be very careful to locate the "mouse" in a good location to hear the birds. MY other GPS-20 won't work at all with a plain antenna--it requires an antenna with amplification built into it. I have used a PC and plugged the 9 pin connector from the gps-30 into its com port. If you use a terminal program that will work without DTR active you can monitor the data from the gps. If you don't have such a program, short pins 7 and 8 together (I use a pair of male, female connectors to avoid having to cut into the cable). As long as I have gone this far, I wire a 1/8" stereo plug to the connector and plug it into the external jack. There are a number of ways to spy on the dialog between the gps and Mic-E. After you know what is in the data stream, you know which way to go. Good Luck. ps:try the "A" key--you may find your Mic-E tele report there. The 0000N/0000W still sounds like a deaf GPS.

The Mic-E is looking for data in on pin 3, and sends echo data when programming on pin 2. Pin 5 on both is ground. Check your pinouts!

I meant pin 2 for output from the GPS30, which goes to pin 3 of the mic-e, like you said. I had another response to check the flashing light indicating data lock. I'll look at that tomorrow. How did the demo go today. I had several reports from your mobile headed south to the BEARS clubhouse. What are your plans for Xmas break? We'd like to have you down sometime for dinner, visit, and sleepy over. We may try a couple 1-2 day trips over the holiday, down to Portland, over to Spokane. Don't know yet. Not much else to report.

So the question is "How come my attached file did not show up as an attached file but instead was printed as pure gibberish?". I don't know what happened. It appears that attached files can't be attached in this form??? I need an answer before I try sending it again.

When things arrive attached to the individual messages, they're "attached files", but, in digest mode, the attachment is just left in MIME-encoded gibberish form, and added to the digest. The nature of the digest mode is such that mail programs cannot recognize embedded "attached" files, so they don't convert them back to binary... The same thing applies to people whose mail programs are set to send messages as "multipart MIME-encoded", so that HTML "enhancements" can be used. They come through as garbage, instead. From ???@???

When I look at the decoded packet the path has entries such as SSTXRV-2 or SSTXSS the last two characters and the number vary depending on where I set the path and message switches The programmed path string is "RELAY,WIDE,WIDE,WIDE,GATE,WIDE,WIDE" Unfortunately I do not have the first unit here for comparison but I am certain that it was getting digipeated properly. In addition to the digipeater problem, the unit does not transmit any symbols other than a large red cross no matter what I program into it for MYSymbol. The LAT-LONG portion of the packets is correct. Does anybody have an idea what is going wrong here? Thanks for your help. 73, de KF6IZO Dan Welch kf6izo@qsl.net From ???@???

It is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization for these same purposes. TAPR is governed by a 9-member Board of Directors. Each member of the Board serves a three year term. Every year three positions are up for election. Board members are expected to attend two board meetings held in conjunction with the Dayton Hamvention and the ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference. They participate in the decision-making process and provide guidance to the officers. They receive no pay and must defray most of their own expenses to attend meetings. Board members should be prepared to be active in the continuing Board deliberations, which are conducted via the Internet. Active participation in TAPR activities by Board members is important to the furtherance of the objectives of TAPR. The officers of TAPR are elected by the members of the Board at the annual Board of Directors meeting. The current members of the Board of Directors and their expiration dates of their terms are: * John Ackermann, AG9V 1998 Vice President * Jim Neely, WA5LHS 1998 Treasurer * Barry McLarnon, VE3JF 1998 Steve Bible, N7HPR 1999 Gary Hauge, N4CHV 1999 Bob Hansen, N2GDE 1999 PSR Editor Greg Jones, WD5IVD 2000 President John Koster, W9DDD 2000 Mel Whitten, K0PFX 2000 Nominations are now open for seats expiring in March 1998 (marked with an asterisk). To place a person in nomination, please remember that he or she must be a member of TAPR. Confirm that the individual is willing to have their name placed in nomination. Send that person's name (or your own if you wish to nominate yourself) along with your call and their call, telephone numbers, mailing address, and Internet address. The person nominated should submit a short biographical sketch to be published along with the ballot. Nominations and biographical sketches should be submitted to the TAPR office no later than December 31st, 1997. Ballots will be mailed with the next PSR. TAPR will again use an Internet ballot, so read your ballot carefully. Results will be announced on March 30th, 1998. Responsibilities of a board member include: 1) Attendance at both board meetings each year. 2) Regular participation with the continuous session of the board (currently held over the Internet). Typically this requires a minimum of 3 hours a week, although sometimes much more is required during active board discussions. 3) Participation with TAPR projects as volunteered. Board members, while not required, are involved with various project management, ongoing organization and/or supervision/liaison positions. Active board participation with various projects make many of the most important projects and tasks possible. Board members are expected to take an active part in TAPR in some form. All nominated members will be placed on the ballot and the highest vote receivers will be placed in the open board positions. If elected, two board meetings in 1998 will be held. One will be during Dayton Hamvention and the other during the ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference. All directors shall serve for a term of three years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tucson Amateur Packet Radio 8987-309 E Tanque Verde Rd #337 * Tucson, Az * 85749-9399 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-mail: tapr@tapr.org web: ftp: ftp.tapr.org phone: 940-383-0000 fax: 940-565-2544 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From ???@???

What version of APRS do you run and what version of software in your mic-e unit do you have, I think that the latest is version 1.07. ?
