Subject: [aprssig] Davis Wx station without a PC
Hi All,
Is anyone out there using A Davis weather station Advantage Pro2 with the
WeatherLink software for APRS ( with data logger )
I seem to be having trouble getting the thing to transmit without the aid
of a PC which Davis says is possible, thats why I bought the APRS software
kit.
I can see the aprs string that is coming out of the Wx station in Hyperterm
but when I connect it to a TNC via the adapter supplied nothing happens.
All my radio equipment is working as it should as I have no problem doing
APRS from my PC.
any help much appreciated

Subject: [aprssig] D7 Problem
I have been using my Kenwood D7 with UI-View for several years. A couple of
days ago it stopped working; the TNC did not initialize. I have sent my
question to this sig and not the UI-view group because I don't thnk it is a
UI-View problem.
What does work?
- ARPS works correctly for both Tx & Rx. (TNC otherwise works properly)
- The serial cable has continuity and it worked correctly last week (No
spare to double check)
- UI-View works properly with other TNC/radio combinations. (Not a software
problem)
I used a new copy of the UI-View CMD file for the D7 and noticed something
odd. When UI-View tried to initializes the TNC the D7 responded by
(correctly) changing frequency but UI-View did not receive any response from
the D7 and timed out with an error message.
My guess is one of the connections on the D7's serial port is broken. Has
anyone had a similar experience? Or is there some other possible problem?
Robert, KD6INI

Bob...
Just curious. Does PCSAT-1 only tx on .390 when over North America etc,
quiet at other times, or is it active world wide on that frequency?
Only ask, as it may explain some "odd" noises heard in the past in what
is our SSB segment of the UK/EU 2m band.

Gudday
Maxon DM-2550 VHF radio in die cast box.
Manual says 10.2 Volts, one web site says 11.2 Volts, another says 5 volts
for VCC.
Confused.
