[aprssig] APRS Windows-CE Problem

[john van sandt]

Has anyone had problems with running APRS CE on an HP Ipaq 1950 series?  I 
am using a Kenwood THD-7 in packet mode and have all communications set up 
properly.  I have got it working...sometimes.  The problem seems to be when 
I shut the system down and try to power up later I have to start APRS-CE 
with out the RS 232 cable attached and then exit APRS (without powering down 
the HP).  Before running APRS-CE again I hot plug the sync cable with the RS 
232 then exicute the program.  If I do not follow this procedure exactly the 
HP goes in a lock up condition (or runs at a snails pace). About 50% of the 
time even if I do follow this procedure it still hangs and I have to do a 
reboot of the HP.
   When it does run properly it screams (speedy).
   It almost appears when I exit APRS-CE and power the HP down it is leaving 
the serial port in an odd status.  Once I get it running properly I can exit 
and restart APRS-CE many times as long as I don't power the HP down.  Once I 
power it down and power back up it very difficult to get running agin.
  In checking memory with the program running I find it has several meg of 
un-used space in the machine
Anyone have suggestions or seen this problem?
