Your memory work space (ws) is full...you need to go into your setup and
increase the amount of work space memory for the program.
At least that's how I recall it...it's been quite a while since I ran the
program.

I would like to know if there is a new current model GPS on the market for
trackers.
Faceless is okay, under xxx bucks if possible.
I just saw a Tripmate on eBay over $xxx bucks wow!
Any mods available for any current production units not normally used as
tracker only apps? aka the PalmIII units..

We tried 2 of the new Garmin GPS16 units for the Motorola Marathon trackers
this year and they are very nice! They lock up very quickly and stay
locked even in the concrete canyons of downtown Austin. The form factor is
roughly 3" in diameter and 1 1/2" tall with a single cable that has power
and all the gps in/out signals on it. There are several mounting options.
I would recommend getting the high voltage version (+12V and up) with the
RJ45 connector on the end. Bury a Tiny Trak into a GE Pheonix radio and
add a connector for the GPS16 and you have a tracker! Check out
http://www.armadillotx.org/tt_2_mods.htm for installation hints. The GPS16
can be had for under $xxx online.
Good luck,
Greg

Hello;
Is there a way to easily connect a Radio Shack GPS (for pda's) to a Kenwood
D7's GPS port. I want to connect my ipaq 3650 to the pc port.
The R.S. GPS has a 6 pin telephone type plug on it and I was wondering if a
plug could be built to go directly into the D7.
I'm not familiar with the output of the ipaq, but it will sync either to a
comm port or a usb port, so I am pretty sure that the ipaq port is
programmable. But not positive. I think I am talking apples to apples on
the PC comm. connection and the GPS comm. connection.
Has anyone done this with the R.S. GPS?
Thanks, 73 de w8tcc, Troy

Can anyone tell me if they have successfully put together a D700 or D7 with
a Garmin Geko 201?
Can it read NEMA both ways and show stations on its map as waypoints?
The Geko is only $xxx and if it works would be great for hiking also as its
not very much larger than a cigarette lighter!
Any info would be greatfully received!

Virtually any GPS device with NMEA 2.x output (which is just about all of
them will work).
Some inexpensive "mouse"-type units that work well are the Deluo available
for $xx.xx (Serial Interface) or $xx.xx (USB Interface).

Code=GR
The Tri-M Systems Smart Skymaster -- this is an entire 12-channel receiver
and patch antenna packaged in a case the size of a patch antenna alone and is
intended for permanent hard mounting on a vehicle. The unit is about 2"
diameter by about 3/4" high. A 7/8" dia/1/2" long coarse-thread steel stud
sticks out the bottom of the unit. You punch/drill a 7/8th hole in the
vehicle body (similar to a standard NMO antenna mount but slightly larger),
stick the unit in from above and spin a white plastic wing nut up the shaft
from below. An 8-pin mini-DIN connector in the middle of the end of the
stud connects 5VDC into the device and brings standard 4800 8-N-1 ASCII NMEA
out. The unit starts automatically when power is applied. A 12-foot cable
with a forked end (DB9 for computer serial port) and a PS/2 plug (for
stealing 5VDC from a laptop keyboard port) is provided. A pic of this unit
installed on my card roof is on my website at:

Another possibility is the NEW Delorme EarthMate II
Not yet available (supposedly mid April delivery), the NEW NMEA-compliant
Earthmate II GPS (the original Earthmate used a proprietary binary output
that was usable only with Delorme programs) connects to a computer's USB
port. A Windows driver then makes it look like a GPS on a virtual serial
port to applications. The USB connection powers the receiver so batteries
aren't needed. If you are running APRS apps on laptops and need to
accommodate both a TNC and a GPS device, using a USB port for the GPS neatly
solves the problem of only one serial port.
An optional serial cable assy and batttery pack are going to be available so
this may be the ultimate flexible GPS device -- use it USB on the laptop,
serial into a tracker , and serial with battery box with a THD-7 handheld.
And it is WAAS enhanced as well! $xx.xx alone, $xxx.xx with the horrible
Street Atlas 2003.

Subject: Motorola radius gm300 codeplug file needed

I have a Motorola GM300, VHF, Model M33GMC20D2 (8 channel) that I think has
bad codeplug data or a bad logic board. When I turn the thing on, it reads
P5 or 29, depending what buttons I push and I get the long tone. When I try
to read the codeplug, I get an error code 2056. I might be able to clone a
codeplug if I had a good codeplug files from the same model number radio.
By chance, would anyone have a codeplug file for the GM300 model M33GMC20D2
that I could use to attempt to clone mine into working again?
I would very much appreciate it!
Thanks
