<DIV id=RTEContent>Andy,<BR><BR>I had a similar problem with a D700 that
stopped accepting GPS data. On the main board right after the GPS jack
there is a zero Ohm resistor. For some reason that went open in my
radio. I replaced it with a short mag wire and it has worked fine
since. It might be something to check.<BR><BR>-Jerome,

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The TNC board on my D700 has apparently gone
south, for the 2nd time in 5 months. I have had the unit for about a year
now. The problem manifests as an inabioity for the GPS signal to get
into the TNC. All the usual isolation and troubleshooting confirm that it is
not the GPS or the cabling. The first time, I though it was a
mechanical connector problem but the fix was to replace the TNC board (with
a "reconditioned" untit ?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I sent it back for repair once, and got it back
just in time for a long trip and now it looks like I will have to do it
again. This time the trio is a few months away. Has anyone else
experienced this problem
