<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>>Vic...making this harder that it should be
[GRIN] When your D700 in PKT<BR>>mode instead of the normal APRS mode, in
APRSPoint on the menu along the<BR>>top, click on Comm, Connect TNC,
Select Serial Port, Baud rate (9600), then<BR>>select GPS pass through. No
menu mods are necessary for the D700 for<BR>>APRSPoint to
work.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3><STRONG><FONT size=2>D700 is in TNC PKT mode and
this is how my AP2004 is set up. I think my issue is with AP as it seems to get
connected to the TNC (indicated on the status line at startup) but does not
receive packets nor do any show on the top bar of the window next to the
lat/long display. I am convenced that the issue is the Serial => USB
converter. Is there some sort of flow control there in AP? I am becoming
resigned to running AP2002 on my old Thinkpad with a REAL serial port. I have
run it with the D700 with good success. I would perfer to run AP2004 on my Dell
but I guess it isn't going to happen. Michael has tried to help. He needs to
re-think this serial port situation I believe.

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>BTW: I can see all packets from the TNC when I run my
terminal program connected to the TNC thru the converter on my
Dell.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>On Dell with converter;</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>TNC => Terminal program: Packets
show</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>TNC => APRSPoint: Packets DO NOT
Show.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>>PS give me a couple of days... I'm helping Michael out by putting up a
web<BR>>page for AprsPoint setups (aprspoint.info). I should have
step-by-step in<BR>>the next day or so...</DIV>

<DIV></FONT><FONT size=2><STRONG>I am looking forward to it. Please keep me
posted.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
