<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>As the original poster of this subject let me
comment on some of the GPS oriented posts. I wrote:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>>I have been struggling for two days to get my
700A on the air. I have it interfaced to a >laptop running APRSPoint.
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I have a Garmin GPS35 (sort of a streamlined
hockeypuck) attached to my D700. It is not a HOME station. APRSPoint is a
moving map system and is meant to be mobile. The GPS35 is spewing out
NMEA sentences as verified by having a look at it's output on a
communications terminal program. This is not in question.
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I am concerned because I am not seeing my position
showing up on the map nor have I found my station on findu. I am
quite sure there are enough Digipeaters in range to have gated my position
reports to the internet.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>My question concerned possible problems with the
D700 setup. I am running in TNC PKT mode and here are what I consider the
germaine radio setup parameters listed by D700 Menu
numbers:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
