I think the source of the mysterious switching may be a matter of forgetting to also set the microphone lock switch to "on". When the microphone lock switch is off, the three programmable buttons on the top of the microphone are still active, and the key-locked radio still responds to them to some extent. The default function for button "1" on the microphone is to switch bands. My testing shows that band switching via the microphone button "1" even works with the radio's key lock function enabled. %-/ In your case, I'm wondering if you might have a short in the microphone causing PTT to activate the button one functionality? I'm still not sure whether you call the ability to switch bands when the key-lock function is enabled a "feature" or a "bug". The frequency switch is most definitely a bug in my book - it makes the rig quite unreliable when holstered on your belt. I'd be curious to hear if anyone else has had this problem. 73, Ed (K6EKB) -----Original Message----- From: Bob Lovell [mailto:kc0efc@amsat.org] Sent: 30 June 1999 19:00 To: TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group Subject: [htaprs] Band selector moves when pressing PTT I noticed that while setup VHF/VHF and using an external Kenwood mike (SMC-34) pressing the ptt cause the bands to flip from one to another.

Anyone know where I can get just the >connector that connects to the base of the PalmPilot? Lavoie, The modem cable IS what you want. On one end, it has the edge connector that connects the PalmPilot. The other end is a DB-25 connector. You have a choice of 1) cutting off the DB-25 connector and attaching the three needed leads to a 2.5mm stereo plug that fits the D7A, or 2) making a new cable with the stereo plug at one and a DB-25 at the othe end. Personally, I prefer the second option because a) you can use the completed new cable for programming the radio from a desktop; and b)it's easier to mate a thin cable (the new one) with the thick one, using a plug rather than electical tape. This is especialy important because I additionally reccommend you use only the 2.5mm plug available from Kenwood or Mouser. Off brand plugs don't quite seat proeprly in the radio ports, resulting in intermittant transfers of data (Bummer!).

This will give the 1 hop and would not create any dups. Command ? TEMPorary on/OFF James (VE7JMS) Bob Bruninga wrote on 99-6-28 7:28: Its time to think of better tweaks to our growing network. I am asking Kantronics to consider the following. If you can think of improvements let us know: (At start of FD, I noticed a multiplication of dupes as some people installed temporary WIDE digipeaters to link to their FD site). PROBLEM: Often people will put up temp or permanent digis to fill in a small gap, or let them operate HT in a shadowed area. This is fine if they only use the alias of RELAY. But as a RELAY, then they work fine for outgoing packets, but do nothing for incoming ones. THus, there is a temptation to make them a WIDE. This causes MANY,MANY dupes for traffic passing through the area. SOLUTION: SOlution is to add a command called something like "FILL-DIGI" to the digipeater TNC. If FILL-DIGI is set to ON, then this digi will ONLY digipeat a packet if it is the FIRST or the LAST digipeater in a string. This way the digi works as intended, bringing traffic into and out of a hidden area, while not adding duplicate DUPES to long haul traffic passing through. Its not a perfect solution, but it shouuld help. Where it doesnt help is when say someone is just using the default of WIDE5-5 for example but the user in the valley is only 3 hops away. Then the packet will arrive at the FILL-DIGI as WIDE5-2 and NOT be digipeated, because it is not last. But hey, we cant fix everything.

This setup could send all data on the same frequency, but if you prefer, the computer could easily change the TH-D7's frequency for this transmission.

I have bought a couple of TH-D7A units but they haven't arrived yet... Is it possible to do the following with these units at the same time? 1) Have a GPS connected to the TH-D7A & tx on 1 frequency every 30 seconds or so. 2) Have a computer also connected to the TH-D7A full time, with "other" data coming (fuel flow for example) in to the computer every so often on another serial port. When the data comes into the computer, the computer would send this "other" information on a different frequency? I would expect the computer would have to put the radio into a different mode, change the frequency, then put the radio back into tx mode? While I'm here, we are looking at a fairly big network of units, sending data all over the place. I'm wondering if there are experienced consultants who are available to help in the design this system. We already have most of it in place, but are a bit stuck on the best way to go with the next phase which involves sending more data besides vehicle positions. We are not sure whether we can send everything on the same frequency, or whether we need more than 1 frequency, etc...

Well, the SMC-34 is the newest and the cheapest. You are correct. There is a paradox there! It has the same remote functions (3) as the SMC-33 but also has the volume control and is half the price. It works really well and I just got one. I am surprised Kenwood gave away the SMC-32 at Dayton when the SMC-34 retails cheaper. Personally, I would rather have the 34. It has a better speaker with better audio quality plus all the other stuff. Go figure.

I already bit the bullet and ordered one from HRO while I was ordering my Garmin Topo CD's for my new Garmin III+. By the way if you ask, they will nock another $5 off to make it $114.95 for the Topo CD's delivered, that is the cheapest price I found. I asked HRO about the SMC-34 and they said it was the best of the 3 mikes and that Kenwood dropped the price on this one because it was not selling. It used to go for $75. So it appears that the SMC-34 is the best buy. That was borne out by all the responses I got to my inquiry. Thanks again to all that replied. On another point. I have used my GPS III+ with my TH-D7A as a tracker and was surprised that the TH-D7A uploads all the received APRS station as Waypoints to the III+. I consider this a really neat feature. Between these two units I almost have a complete operating portable APRS station with me at all time. Look for me when I am in the mountains. Kenwood if you are listening. It would really be neat to add in integral GPS to your TH-D7A, then we would only have to carry one piece of equipment to play our game of APRS. APRS is still in its infancy and there is a market for a product that puts a Radio, TNC and GPS into one neat package. I suggested it to ICOM over a year ago and their marketing people rejected it. I just purchased two of the TH-D7A's and love them. The market it out there for the right products.

You download by county and the memory can hold 4-6 depending on size. and yes it does free you from needing the computer in the car for local use.

Yesterday I used the mic for the first time and I experienced a very strange problem. I had the radio setup to display only the lower band (UHF) at 446 MHz. Operating off the filtered DC adapter or the 9.6V battery didn't make any difference. Every once in a while, the HT would change from the lower displayed band (UHF) to the upper displayed band (VHF). I checked the SMC-34 and it was in the lock mode so none of the 3 buttons were working. Once I disconnected the SMC-34 the band switching never occurred again. Has anyone seen this before?

Now, I just use one of two RJ45-DB9 adapters to go to either the GPS or the PC. One interesting side benefit is that to connect the D7A to my GPS35 (with the RJ45 on it), I do need an RJ45 coupler. I just made sure I wired them so the right pins pass-through. Just thought some might like to know.

I can't believe all of the responses I got to my question about the TH-D7A & APRS. Thanks everybody !!! My problem the entire time was NOT the way I had my TH-D7A set up, BUT, the fact that I was too far away to make the 144.390 machine on just 5watts with my rubber-ducky antenna. So, I have connected my TH-D7A to my mobile antenna and it works great. I went to the web site http://maps.aprs.net/KC8MTV-7 and there I was. I can't believe how detailed that web sites maps are. I am used to the DOS maps out there. If you go to that site, just type in the call sign of the person your wanting to locate in place of my call letters KC8MTV-7. Now, my NEXT project, to figure out how to get my Garmin GPS 45 to transmit my Lat./Long. to my TH-D7A. I have the cable made up and it doesn't seem to show my Lat./Long..

One, that is on the web site, is about 100 pages, and is also printed and given with each TH-D7A. Then, according to Stan's review in QST, if you buy the cable and CD-ROM you get a TH-D7A "IN-DEPTH" Manual, that is 182 pages that is on the CD-ROM. If there in fact is, I'd like the "In-depth" 182 page version... but have not decided to spend the extra money ..

If you are using the GPS and have it enabled in the radio, the GPS becomes the reporting entity, not the radio. You will not, at least I have never, see the Long. Lat. figures change in the radio's display. It is simply bypassed. Go to the site that you found on the internet. Make sure you are being seen. Then, go out and drive around for a 10 minute jaunt. Set your radio to automatically transmit every minute. Come home and you should be able to see where you have been.

It is really a well buit shielded cable which includes a choke (to prevent RFI) which is sealed and part of the cable. The PG-4W cable may be used either to access the D7A (either inputting frequency data and the likes) and/or to connect D7A to a PC or laptop and use it in the packet mode or even APRS for that matter. Tried both and everything works fine. The CD ROM that comes with it includes the manual which was mentioned (is very well done and is even loaded with good reference information on APRS in general), a short video on APRS and the D7A and version 1 of the software which enables you to program the D7. It comes with two language options which are English and Japanese.

It is really a well buit shielded cable which includes a choke (to prevent RFI) which is sealed and part of the cable. The PG-4W cable may be used either to access the D7A (either inputting frequency data and the likes) and/or to connect D7A to a PC or laptop and use it in the packet mode or even APRS for that matter. Tried both and everything works fine. The CD ROM that comes with it includes the manual which was mentioned (is very well done and is even loaded with good reference information on APRS in general), a short video on APRS and the D7A and version 1 of the software which enables you to program the D7. It comes with two language options which are English and Japanese.

Do a quick check that the GPS is in NEMA mode and NOT some other GARMIN mode. Then test that you can see the ASCII NMEA data with a communication program running at 4800 baud. This will test your connector and wires. As Charley Chan said: Wire that wiggle the voltmeter is the xmit line from the GPS and should not be wired or to another xmit line. 73 ----- kc5ejk@onramp.net or kc5ejk@amsat.org ----- --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Sun Jul 18 15:56:31 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id PAA23340 for ; Sun, 18 Jul 1999 15:56:25 -0500 (CDT) From: RASNM@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Sun, 18 Jul 1999 16:55:38 EDT Subject: [htaprs] new guy To: "TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio X-Message-Id: <1562b7e9.24c3994a@aol.com> Sender: bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Precedence: bulk Hello List, I am Ron in Albuquerque.

I had in fact used all of the suggestions from various earlier postings and had not arrived at a solution. I did just now go out and push the POS button on my THD7A. It did show the 00.00.000's but the decimals were not flashing. I waited and nothing happened. I tried restarting both units and no change. I then disconnected the cables and pushed the POS button and still the same. Brings up the question, does the POS button only read from the GPS interface or does it default to the manually entered location I got from my Garmen and entered before I built my cable. I'm beginning to believe I need to verify outputs from the Garmen to the miniature stereo plug and would like to know what I ought to be seeing. Last night while re-terminating the garmen end I saw a square wave DC signal on one of the conductors. Guess I'm asking what should I be seeing on the tip, center and outer sleeve of the mini stereo from an operating Garmen III Plus. By the way I had piggy backed 12 v input in to both units which I feed from a battery. That appears to work fine as the batteries in the unit are not going down. -- Norm - N9ZKS Bicyclist, Motorcyclist, Ham , Scouter Year2000 Compliant --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Mon Jul 19 17:55:07 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id RAA20901 for ; Mon, 19 Jul 1999 17:55:03 -0500 (CDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 17:54:58 -0500 To: "TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group" From: Robert Winingham Subject: [htaprs] Re: TH-D7A & GPS III+ Cc: htaprs@lists.tapr.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio X-Message-Id: Sender: bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Precedence: bulk >Two people have said they have seen me mobile.

Well the D7A is going to try to send data to the GPS when it gets a position from another station. You can try to see that voltage. Then you will know which wire is xmit from the D7A and ground.

I built something with similar abilities as a telemetry system for a solar race car, Kansas State University Apollo. That system used the TH-D7A at 9600baud as the radio link between the race car and a laptop in a chase vehicle. The unit on the race car used a Motorola HC-11 microcontroller to gather data and format it for transmission through the D7. I would recommend something similar for your application: connect both the GPS and whatever other data gathering devices to an external microcontroller, then let the microcontroller format and control data to the D7A. We never used multiple frequencies, but we thought about it and it is possible, I think. Commands do exist to take the D7A out of TNC mode from the command line (if only I remembered what it was). Regarding the APRS formatting: it seemed a lot easier to just format the strings on the microcontroller and then send them on the proper frequency than to try to enter APRS mode. We never transmitted APRS, just a position string with the other telemetry data. If this sounds like something people are interested in, drop me a message. I'm writing a short paper on the project now for school, summarizing performance during the race, and will put a pointer to the list when I'm done. And if you think this part is cool, you should see the data display software another team member developed.. very very nice. I hope this helped with your questions. In short, you can do about anything.

Announces a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface Kit, ActiveWire(TM)-USB PALO ALTO -- July 19, 1999 /Xpress Press/ -- ActiveWire, Inc., an embedded technology company, announced the immediate availability of its Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface kit, ActiveWire-USB. ActiveWire-USB kit consists of example software and interface hardware with programmable input/output pins that can interface to many devices such as switches and LEDs. ActiveWire -USB allows hobbyists and engineers to easily connect devices to the ubiquitous USB interface instead of the old, slow RS-232 and parallel interfaces. Applications include interfacing a pan/tilt head for a small camera, robots, automating various high speed electronic devices, and computer interface education. "When I first tried to connect devices to USB, it was not easy," says Mato Hattori, president of ActiveWire, Inc. "I decided to provide a quick and easy way to interface to USB for engineers and hobbyists, like me." Mato continues; "With ActiveWire-USB you can start controlling your device from USB in moments instead of days." ActiveWire-USB has the following features: * Easily programmable with software development tools * 24 MHz CPU core with USB * Firmware downloadable via USB * 16 bit parallel input/output * Expandable add-on boards * New firmware and scripts available from website (http://www.ActiveWireInc.com) * $59 + shipping and handling ActiveWire-USB can be programmed from browser script (JavaScript) on PC running Windows (R) 98. This feature will be available for Macintosh in the near future. ActiveWire, Inc. can offer interface design kits for other interface standards as well as drivers for FreeBSD. ActiveWire, Inc. was founded as a PicoStar company two years ago to develop interface technologies that enhance the connectivity of devices to personal computers and the Internet. PicoStar, LLC is an incubator organization, providing funding and support services for the startup of advanced technology companies. PicoStar, LLC currently holds four businesses: NetEyes, Inc., ActiveWire, Inc., iWrap, and United Earth Networks. "A new business can work more efficiently in an environment where all share resources and stimulate each other," says Eric T. Brewer, president of PicoStar, LLC. Consumers can order ActiveWire-USB directly from ActiveWire, Inc. via the Internet at http://www.ActiveWireInc.com/. Dealers and companies interested in OEM arrangements can make inquiries to Eric T. Brewer of PicoStar, LLC. CONTACT: Eric T. Brewer President, PicoStar, LLC 650-493-4900 Eric@PicoStar.com or Mato Hattori President, ActiveWire, Inc. 650-493-8700 (ext. 204) Mato@ActiveWireInc.com For more information on USB contact http://www.ActiveWireInc.com/USB.htm. __________________________ You're getting this message via MacDev-1 -- the Mac(tm) OS Developer News and Info server sponsored by MacTech(r) Magazine http://www.mactech.com, mailto:info@mactech.com, or 805-494-9797 Developer Depot(tm) http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:info@devdepot.com or call 800-MACDEV-1 To submit a posting to MacDev-1, mailto:press_releases@mactech.com.

I really want to buy one but now I'm wondering if it might be premature.

I used it for Packet with a PC, DX cluster monitoring without a PC, and APRS as a tracker in the car and on a bicycle, winaprs with a PC at home.. etc. Never had a problem except for the Ant jack after 7 months. I did move it around constantly (for a while the daily routine was: House to car, car to office, office to car, car to home.. more movement on weekends..). I probably wasn't to carefull about over-tightning the ant but the HT was repaired No Charge under warranty. Love It!

I don't know if Kenwood USA would fix a Canadian bought product under warranty. Likewise, Kenwood Canada might not honour a US warranty. I had my THD7A in a couple of weeks back to have the antenna connector and the battery sliding thingy on the bottom replaced. It was in on Monday and out by Wednesday. Even got the firmware updated while it was in.

I would say for the most part people are really enjoying their TH-D7's. A quick look at used rigs will show you that people are not willing to give up their D7's. I think you will find that the things the TH-D7 does do well, much outweighs the things it could do better. I would suggest buying the TH-D7 if you are interested in its capabilities. If something better does come up, (nothing comparable out there yet) you can always sell your D7. Amateur equipment in very good condition retains its value very well. One word of caution for satellite work: The TH-D7's TNC will not operate in Full Duplex. It will work fine for tx and rx for Mir, or receive only on the Pacsats. However since the TNC cannot be sending data at the same moment it is receiving data (Full Duplex), you cannot work Pacsats.... only receive.

Do you remove the battery when you are running it from the mains? I just got a couple of units to play with, and noticed that when I set them to transmit, they keep resetting themselves if the battery is nearly flat. I was a bit worried whether it is allowable to run them without the battery...

I think some of the reset problems have a simple explanation. When the radio goes on transmit, the voltage drops. when you're on low power talking to the local repeater, no problem. You get a comment, "You're a little scratchy into the repeater" up goes the power, down goes the power supply voltage. The same thing happens when you have a weak battery as it's drawing a lot of the available power from the charger/power supply. I used to do the same thing all the time with the better of the two RS regulated power supplies and my mobile used as a base. This could also happen if you are using one of the small blokes designed to just provide enough power to supply the needed charging current for the battery. Fixed that with one of a friends home made 12 volt supplies. He prides himself on building a supply that you can put a one ohm resistor across and see a voltage drop of less than 0.01 volt. -- Norm - N9ZKS Bicyclist, Motorcyclist, Ham , Scouter Year2000 Compliant --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Wed Jul 21 12:39:46 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id MAA28501 for ; Wed, 21 Jul 1999 12:39:44 -0500 (CDT) From: "Keith Schlottman, CPA" To: "TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group" Subject: [htaprs] Re: D7A Power plug Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 10:38:53 -0700 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 In-Reply-To: Importance: Normal List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio X-Message-Id: <000901bed39f$e6977920$110310ac@mmsi.com> Sender: bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Precedence: bulk > > Do you remove the battery when you are running it from the mains? > Yes, I do remove the battery, and it works just fine. My reason for removing it is that I'm not sure if the radio will try to recharge the battery, which I don't want since that would probably eventually trash the Nicads.

What baud rate does the d7 talk to Hyperterminal. I just fired up Hyperterminal on my desk top and got the radio to talk but I have a baud rate problem. I have changed the baud rate in the Hyperterminal setup from 1200 up to 9600. Still jibberish. Please don't flame me for using Hyperterminal. I know that there are better terminal programs out there. But, Hyperterminal is free and no more than I use it, it normally works for me. Also, there is a fellow ham on the list that is having second thoughts about the D7. I have had mine for several months and have had "0" problems with it. I have used it for APRS and some packet. About the only criticism I have is the software package. I feel that Kenwood needs to rework the programming software so the frequencies are easier to move around. That way, you can arrange them anyway you desire. But, that is just my opinion! But the radio, you won't be sorry! I ordered the PG-4W software and cable from AES and it took about a month to receive it. It is worth the wait. The cable is VERY heavy duty and the CD ROM, from the little I have explored it, is great. A lot of information about APRS. Bite the bullet and order the cable form your favorite Ham store. You won't be sorry you did. --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Wed Jul 21 16:48:06 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id QAA05867 for ; Wed, 21 Jul 1999 16:48:01 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: X-Sender: railfan@pop.flash.net Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 16:45:57 -0500 To: "TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group" From: GPersons Subject: [htaprs] Re: MCP_D7 version Cc: htaprs@lists.tapr.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio X-Message-Id: <3.0.32.19990721164504.0068df38@pop.flash.net> Sender: bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Precedence: bulk No it is not.

It also makes the system even more compact. Unfortunately, the power supply that comes with it can't handle the pace when transmitting without a battery, so looks like I have to find something bigger... While I'm here, after having a quick play, and reading the instruction manual, it appears that there is no way to set the radios up as "transparent modems" so that I can hook an RS-232 source in to 1 radio & have it transmit, even after a power failure. It appears I have to put it in converse mode first by typing in a K. Anyone found a way around this? Ideally I would prefer the radio to power up in converse mode...

As a long time DeLorme Street Atlas user (versions 3, 4, 5, 6, and now back to 5 again), I can report that Street Atlas has no apparent options for alternate sources of map data other than itself (or maybe DeLorme Map'n'Go too?). Unless of course somebody figured out a clever hack. APRSplus "drives" Street Atlas SW, so whatever Street Atlas does for you in terms of maps is what you'll get when APRSplus is at the controls. Are you an owner of the ARRL CDROM that is trying to leverage that investment, without the additional expense of buying Street Atlas? You'll have to ask Brent if APRSplus has an option for controlling the ARRL SW instead of the DeLorme SW. 73, Tony Arnerich KD7CEJ --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Fri Jul 23 15:49:36 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id PAA15869 for ; Fri, 23 Jul 1999 15:49:34 -0500 (CDT) From: RASNM@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 16:45:49 EDT Subject: [htaprs] D7A to PC ?

I can get about 1300kb of map, which is about the density of Broward and Dade counties (Fort Lauderdale and Miami) before the thing says that it is full. The maps are broken up into sections that are convenient to work with, ie: Broward county is 2 or 3 sections and I can put the central and South sections of the county in the GPS. The streets are about like what you may see with any other mapping program and may become very cluttered on the small screen. Water detail is pretty good, and you can see some navigational markers on the coastal areas. It just takes a minute or two to upload the maps to the GPS. To select a section to upload you just click on an outlined section on the computer screen. The updated program, from the Garmin.com web site, allows you to do a search for cities now.

Yes, they do. When their positions change they change on the map too. Not only does the D7 plus a Garmin III+ make the smallest tracker I am aware of it also rivals a full blow computer running APRS if it were not for the screen size and the mono vrs. color. In many ways I prefer the Garmin III+ to my laptop as the laptop is always one minute (beacon rate) behind and it is hard to find the right keys on the laptop while you are driving at night.

NJ with my newly wired tracker ... ... first a little comic relief. Thursday nite I spent wiring the Gramin cable to a D7 cable and external power for both and had it all up and seemingly running but was positive something was working right ... Great Realization Numero 1 - even with GPS the D7 sends it all in Mic-E compressed format ... OK not very funny and i should known that by now ... but this did lead to me the next realization, but not before unwiring and rewiring and cussing and pounding things for 30 minutes ... Great Realization Numero 2 - the reason the D7 kept emitting the same beacon was that my workbench, upon which the Garmin GPS II+ was resting, wasn't moving! D'uh! OK the trip., I wanted to run the D7 barefoot, that is hooked to a 5/8ths roof mount antenna but no brick. here is what i found in trip from NWVT to SNJ. 1) VT - my own wide digi KA2BQE-3 covers fine Burlington to just above the Bristol area where its has many highjly defined shadows. 2) the route over VT 17 to VT 22A donw towards FairHaven and Whitehall NY is mostly spotty. Occasionally you can get a beacon through to BQE-3 or WA2UMX 3) From Whitehall to Queensbury (I87 Exit 20) WA2UMX is very spotty but there. 4) Down I-87 towards Albany WA2UMX is OK from Ex 20 down to Ex 15 and preety spotty below. WB2QBQ should kick in closer to Albany but I copied one posit from him total in both directions of the trip but heard him digipeating on and off. 5) general coverage south from Albany on NY Thruway is very spotty and its hit or miss. 6) about Poughkepsie you start to get pretty solid coverage (damned talkie never shut up! hi!) all the way down to I287 into NJ to the Garden State Parkway as far as Tom's River where I was going. 7) heading West on NJ 70 towards Cherry Hill from the shore is a black hole until you get to the area between Four Mile Circle (NJ 72) and Red Lion Circle (US 206) , then coverage is good again. I used the talkie with the roof antenna the whole time. I had beacon at 2 or 3 minute rates. I like the idea that it has different tones for good packets, "my packets", etc. I used the EMAIL function several places in NJ and NY and when I got home to my fiance's house late Sunday nite to send emails to various people and in every case I had an "ACK" from WU2Z inside of five minutes. I think the D7/II+ is a dynamite package. Now what I want to do is put a KPC3+ and have it connected to my TM261 in the car with the software UART for the GPS when I am driving ... then when I am out of the car use the D7/II+ and atake advantage of the car rig as "RELAY" ... then after that I am gonna get a life ... d'uh! All in all I felt it went fairly well and the D7 seemed to do just fine in the frantic APRS environment of Central and Northern NJ. I think a 25 watt brick might be helpful. Now. does anyone know how to quickly delete large amounts of waypoints from the II+ without having to delete them all in one shot? There was some discussion/question about the 'ticking sound' the D7 makes. From this weekend's experience it seems to me that the D7 'ticks' when GPS-NMEA is activated and it is not getting valid fixes. I noticed it when I had the II+ on the bench in the shadow of a metal shelf and it had lost lock ... when I put it back on the window sill so it could 'look' out the window for satellites and its lock returned, the D7 gave the multi-note sound (which I believe means "good GPS data") and the ticking stopped.

You wouldn't use an offset but I think you program two specific frequencies. There should be a way to change the step size as well. Wish I had my manual in front of me at the office, but I don't. There's gotta be a way to do it! Why does operating dual band not help? You transmit on one frequency and listen on the other.

Even this isn't foolproof. Is this normal for the rig, or do I have a problem? It's really quite annoying, but if that's the way it's supposed to be, I'll have to adjust.

I think someone on this list said that there is an APRS manual with that accessory. I did get hyperterminal working with the D7A in monitor mode.

Is there a published list of when and where >to use which packet path? > >For example: what is relay, wide etc? OK, there have been several questions about paths, etc. lately. Welcome to all the newcomers! There are several good sources for path/APRS info. 1.) ARRL book - It's a little outdated now with some of the new digipeater software 2.) APRS Docs - Available at any of the APRS websites. Should be decent 3.) KA9VNV's questionable webpage: www.dididahdahdidit.com Basically here is what the definitions are roughly: RELAY: A relay is a small coverage digipeater that someone would have at their house typically. It is intended to relay the signals of stations that a WIDE digipeater might not hear (typically mobiles, handhelds, etc.). There are varying arguments over how many relays an area needs to have, but as far as being a user, only put RELAY in your path if you have to. If you are a mobile or handheld on a duck, use RELAY. However, if you have your HT hooked up to a good antenna at your home and are using it for fixed operation, odds are that you can hit a WIDE digipeater directly. So in that case, please don't use RELAY. Excessive use of RELAY can clog a network WIDE: A WIDE digipeater is really as its name implies: WIDE coverage. A WIDE digipeater is usually put up by some club or group and is designed for covering a substantial area. In a metropolitan area as Chicago I think we have 5 or 6 WIDE digis so each one has a pretty good footprint. WIDEn-n: This is a protocol for use with digipeaters that have recent Kantronics software/TNCs and also with Wes Johnson's (I believe that's who wrote it) digi software for PCs. This format basically helps to prevent lots of duplicate packet transmission. For example, if I use WIDE,WIDE,WIDE in my path the first digipeater to hear me will retransmit the packet. The next digi will transmit the packet again. But the first digi is able to hear the second one and it will again re-transmit what it just transmitted, hence causing excess channel loading. The n-n format works best by example: If I use WIDE3-3, my packet is specified to go through three digipeaters. After each hope, the counter is decremented until it reaches zero. For example: WIDE3-3 as transmitted by me, WIDE3-2 after the first digi, WIDE3-1 after the second and WIDE3 after the third. Additionally, there is software in the TNC that will prevent it from hearing a packet that it recently transmitted. The other benefit is that packet length is shortened reducing air time. Also, you can use longer digi hops. You would never want to use WIDE,WIDE,WIDE,WIDE,WIDE. This would bring a network to its knees! However, you can use a WIDE5-5. This works much better. Lastly, I am not sure how it works fully but with digipeaters using Wes' software for a PC you can actually specify a direction you wish your packet to go (ie: North, South, etc.). I don't know how many digis use this and normally, you'd not want to restrict your digipeats anyhow. Let me make one final comment in closing: PLEASE never use WIDE,RELAY or any other path that uses RELAY as anything but the FIRST hop. This will also cause TREMENDOUS havoc in the network. I hope this helps you with clearing things up! 73 and welcome! Jon KE9NA -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Second Amendment is NOT about duck hunting!

Tip = TXD (at radio), is the white wire, and connects to RXD at the computer, or pin 2 of DB-9. Ring = RXD (at radio), is the red wire, and connects to TXD at the computer, or pin 3 of DB-9. Shield = ground, is the shield wire, and connects to ground at the computer, or pin 5 of DB-9. I must be overlooking something. Anyone shed light?

Mike Musick's "pocketAPRS" *is* a full-blown APRS program for these devices and al- lows messaging, street-level maps, multiple path selection, object and DF uplinking, etc. It's still in beta (but 1.0 is due out "real soon now") and features are being added to and tweaked with every new release as with all the other flavors of APRS. For portable use, I see many advantages to using this program. It gives you all the advantages of the GPS III+, plus (mostly) full APRS capability. Okay, you can't use a CD callbook or Street Atlas/Preci- sion Mapping CD's, but considering the platform's limitations, Mike has really pushed the envelope with this program. With the Palm III now going for something close to $200, it's worth buying one just for this application ... of course, there are tons of shareware for the thing, too. My favorite turns the device into a multifunction infrared remote control for my TV, VCR, Cable box, Stereo Receiver, CD Player, etc. 73 _______________________________________________________________________ |Arte Booten AEC for Digital Services, NYC ARES/RACES| |PGP Key Fingerprint: 22E5 3EC7 4E3C 2460 C570 BACA E48B 71D5 0F33 54AD| |Riverdale, New York [FN30bv] !4052.71N/07354.06WNPHG5370/A=00240| |Packet: N2ZRC@KB2VLX.#BRONX.NY.USA.NA HTX-202/RS Brick/KPC-3 6.0/X-510| |______________________________________________________________________| A new bumper sticker in New York State reads, "Run Hillary, Run!"

The -7 is what is called an SSID. Oh gosh, I draw a blank on what this stands for! (Supplemental station identifier or something). Anyhow, this allows you to have multiple packet stations on the same frequency. For example, my home station is KE9NA. My car is KE9NA-1. I could have a digi that would be KE9NA-3 (I don't.). And again, regarding your path to get to an Igate, I am not sure about your area.

Kevin, Go to the satellite page on your GPS-45. You will see a number called "EPE." This is your estimated position error. It comes from both errors in calculating your position AND from the government's Selected Availability on the satellites. Couple this with the fact that your map might not be 100% accurate either. The way to really make the GPS more accurate is to use a differential GPS receiver as well. Your accuracy gets much better. But then if you hook that to the GPS-45, I don't think you'd be able to pipe out your serial data. How accurate do you REALLY need to be? 73, Jon KE9NA -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Second Amendment is NOT about duck hunting!

I'm wondering if the radio can be used while in the case or would it get too hot or have other problems? For instance, could I have the radio in the case attached to my belt while I used the SMC-34 Remote Control Speaker Microphone? Similarly, could I have the radio in the case while in my vehicle using the SMC-34 Remote Control Speaker Microphone and attached to a mobile antenna? Can a GPS be attached while it is in the case? Another thing I am considering. Would it be possible to get a camera bag or similar case to hold both the D7A and GPS unit and whatever other accessories I might have (i.e. computer connection)? I plan on using my D7A in several different modes -- home, mobile, bike, jogging, foot. Consequently, I want a convenient package for different situations.

Magellan was a little misleading and leaves you to believe that the 2000XL will output data (thats why I upgraded to XL)but it is not built into the unit. I have looked over a 4000XL and in the SETUP menu there is an option for data output. You won't find that option in your menu. There is a "Data Out" connection in the battery case but if you inspect it with an ohmeter and voltmeter you will discover that nothing is connected to it. I learned all of this the hard way - after buying the 2000XL and power/data adaptor. I have since bought a Garmin GPSIIIPlus and love it with my D7-A!

I just purchased a 12V gel cell which should give me exteded operation when I am not near 12V or 117ac. The other advantage of 12V is that I think it jacks the power up to max (list can correct me if I am wrong) I plan to fuse the power to the D7A using a power connector available at Radio Shack. I can also power the GPS and save its battery. I am shopping for a small camera case or insulated lunch bag. I also wanna use a head set for operation and plan to modify a RS unit. Big ideas here....we will see what happens....lol.

However you can make a split channel to have the same effect for one or more channels. For instance: if you wanted to make a channel receive on 144.000 and tx on 145.310, you could make a split channel for these frequencies. This would be programed as one split channel. When you hit PTT, you would tx at 145.310 and you would rx at 144.000. If you had your radio set to packet, it would also tx and rx at those frequencies ... alowing you to use the tnc on one single band for rx and tx. The following describes how. The easiest way to do this is with Kenwoods software. Double click the memory channel that you want to program this into. Then select Split Channel. Enter the corresponding tx and rx freqs. On the radio: Press VFO change the frequency to correspond with the rx freq press "F", then "MR" Select the memory channel that you would like to save this as Presss "OK" Now for the tx portion: Press VFO change freq to correspond with tx freq press "F", then "MR" select the same memory channel as above Press "PTT" and "OK" at the same time You are now ready to use your split channel for Sarex packet. As far as I know the radio will not allow cross band splits though....bummer. "Horzepa, Stan" wrote: > > Yes, but I still can't find a way to do a 1.31-MHz offset.

I just did and was perplexed with the results. Here goes. Any suggestions are appreciated. First let me tell the group how I had everything configured. D7: TNC mode, not APRS mode. Garmin III+ normal configuration. GPS plugged into the GPS port and the computer plugged in to the PC port. APRS+ setup configured for normal operation. TNC port set for 9600 baud, comm port: comm2, mode normal. TNC configuration set for KPC3. Transmit enabled. As far as I can tell. all of my settings are correct. Now here in lies the rub. The GPS is not sending data to the D7 while it is in this configuration. Yes, it works ok in the APRS mode on the D7. The Lat, Lon, hang up was on the last entry. In this case it was my QTH. While I am hearing the packet burst for APRS the APRS program is not putting them on the Street Atlas map. And I'm not seeing them in APRS. I understand that not all APRS burst are good. I was using a 1/4 wave mag mount antenna. The thing that perplexed me the most was when I found out that, for some strange reason, APRS had put me in British Columbia. (wish I could have been there with it! hihi) I have ran APRS with a TNC, GPS and handheld (not the D7) before and had no problems. I have asked this question several times on this reflector and no one seems to know the answer. So I will ask again. What kind of TNC does the D7 emulate? Is the AX25 protocols a normal thing for all TNCs? I will play with it some more tomorrow. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 73 Gary --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Sat Jul 31 11:15:48 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id LAA02359 for ; Sat, 31 Jul 1999 11:15:47 -0500 (CDT) Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 11:15:25 Subject: [htaprs] Magellan 2000XL Data output To: "TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group" From: "David Lester" List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Sender: bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Message-Id: Precedence: bulk Hi Steve, Well, here it is, fresh off the screen. Two things to note .... #1 -- The Magellan 2000XL MUST be in the satellite lock (not searching) mode before the data is sent to the output. This causes a delay of course when starting and #2 -- I'm not sure if any of this "type" of data string is compatible to the D7A. I KNOW for sure from John Morton (WA4UMR) that the "older/first batch" of D7A's won't work with anything but $GPWPL BUT perhaps with the recent upgrade, it will read the numbers properly.

I would like to thank Ron ,KD5HTY, for his help. 73 Gary KD5DAY --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Sat Jul 31 13:46:38 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id NAA05530 for ; Sat, 31 Jul 1999 13:46:35 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 11:40:05 -0700 From: Walter Dunckel X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 CC: TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group Subject: [htaprs] WinAPRS Map making References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio X-Message-Id: <37A34305.E70BF2A5@best.com> Sender: bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Precedence: bulk To: "TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group" I am interested in making some maps for WinAPRS. Could anyone tell me how to do this. >From what I have read you need to download the software for a Mac computer, purchase a conversion program (for running on a PC), then convert the maps? Is there an easier way? I have also read a little about converting USGS maps to dos maps, but what about windows maps? What is the format/protocol of the *.map files? Any help would be very appreciated.

I am about to try this. peel.com APRSplus . Aparently it works with D7A. $60 shareware plus Street Atlas around $45. Yes another $100.... but if this works as advertised it would be great. Street maps of the whole USA.

AES sells the PG-4W $55.95 1-800-558-0411 . Though I have made my own cable, I want the book and CD that comes with it. 73-ron-kd5hty --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org From bounce-htaprs-845@lists.tapr.org Sat Jul 31 21:30:43 1999 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.10) with SMTP id VAA16993 for ; Sat, 31 Jul 1999 21:30:43 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: X-Sender: railfan@pop.flash.net Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 21:29:35 -0500 To: "TAPR HT APRS Special Interest Group" From: GPersons Subject: [htaprs] Re: PG4W cable & Software.

It took about a month to get it. The cable os great but the in depth manual is fantastic. It delves into APRS real deep. Worth the wait and money. 73 Gary At 09:01 PM 1999-07-31 -0400, you wrote: >Hello All, > > I have been watching the posts on this board for a while, and have a >question.
