Presently, I use a Pico Packet and it works great. The differential beacon sends its UI packets to "RTCM" and the PicoPacket picks these up and routes them to the GPS without any address headers (which would confuse my Garmin GPS40). The GPS sends its NMEA packets back to the PicoPacket which then sends them over the air to all those waiting APRS stations. I sent this question to Kenwood, but they just referred me to the net rather than answering.

I am aware of the - sign, and that is probably what is wrong with the DXF2MAPS.exe, as this problem should be taken care of this software when converting from a UTM DXF file. I suppose I have all the Europen maps at hand, from the TAPR site. I will of cause provide You with my results when available, provided I am not running into a legal issue regarding the commercial rights to the maps from my source. Despite that I will provide a map, in any case, who is much better than the "11 lines in two rows" which is Denamrk on the present maps, HI !!! By the way I think You should improve the TAPR site (to Your benefit) as there is no information how to register the software !! That is why I still run the software unregistred. I will soon find out one way or the other and get registred.
