Some of the 'drivers' may not even be drivers at all. On one ARM-based
prototype project I've been working on here, I have serial over USB working
with a built-in driver that comes with XP - it just needs an .inf file to
tell it which one to use.

Subject: [aprssig] UPS
Hi All,
I have been given a 600VA UPS without any leads or anything else all it
needed was a new battery.
My questions is does anyone use one for backup supply for a TNC or power a
TNC with it. If so how have you done it and do you just connect the TNC to
the battery and plug the UPS into mains supply to keep the battery charged.

Not sure I understand how you expect to hook this up.
First.. you seem to want to hook your TNC up to the battery of the UPS.
The battery of the UPS is designed to power whatever is plugged into the
110vac (or whatever power you have) sockets of the UPS. If you attach an
external load to the battery (your TNC) then I'm not sure the charging
circuit of the UPS will work properly.
Second.. what good is a powered TNC if your radio is not powered?

Has anyone had any success or know how to interface a Magellan's RoadMate
760 (yes Santa was good) with the Kenwood D700. I don't see mention of a
NEMA out in the basic user book

From what I see it doesn't have a serial connection, only USB.. D700 can't
talk to USB-only devices.

>(for reference, "cold" is -5F and colder)
Still for reference: i.e. -20,5C and colder.

Subject: [aprssig] Range in tele1.cgi
Dear friends,
I am trying to use tele1.cgi (from http://www.findu.com/cgi.html) to
display APRS telemetry. Does anyone on the list know how to use its
"range" parameter? Anything I use for this parameter results in a
box-with-a-red-X instead of a graph.
