<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.

<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>
