I appreciate everyone's input. I went with what the majority was
telling me and ordered one from Buxcomm.
(BTW, I usually make my own cables, but I HATE that 13-pinn thing
that Kenwood has for the ACC connection on the back of the
TS-440S(AT).)

Buxcomm is an outstanding resource for anyone needing cables for tnc's and
radios, and a wonderful line of inexpensive, solid performance interfaces.
I use 3 of their interfaces and all have performed perfectly on a Kenwood
G707 dual bander, FT-847 and TS-870s (all rear connector fixed level audio
access to the radios). SSTV, EchoLink, UI-View,...and he provides
schematics on line if you want to do your own, including mike and tnc
wiring for a vast number of products. His web pages are an incredible
one-stop resource for how to wire your own, or buy a pre-made setup.
I highly recommend Buxcomm for sound card interfaces and radio/tnc cables
that are pre-wired for your radios/tncs.
(assuming you don't want to make them yourselves....I've done plenty,
including interfaces, but Buck has made this process painless)

Subject: Xastir, now with topo support on Windows

The latest CVS version of Xastir has support for Windows platforms,
handling all of the same map formats that it supports on the
Unix/Linux/MacOSX platforms including seamless USGS topo maps!
A new README.win32 file takes you step-by-step through an install of Cygwin
and Xastir on a typical Windows computer. A link to this file is available
via the Xastir home page:
http://www.xastir.org
We welcome updates/additions to the docs. Please subscribe to one of the
Xastir mailing lists if you have an interest in this fine (and free!)
program.
Windows Note: If you expect a one-click install, you may want to stick
with whatever you're running now. ;-)

Subject: Frame decoding help

A friend of mine is trying to setup a ballon tracking device to send
multiple data strings in one APRS formatted packet.
The frame he is sending is a POSIT report + BULLETIN message + and telemetry
data all in the same packet however WinAPRS 2.6.? only decodes the first
part of the string. As in he dropped the POSIT and it ACKD the BULLETIN.
How can he format this string so WinAPRS acknowledges BOTH the POSIT &
BULLETIN?

When sending out raw GPS data instead of a APRS POSIT packet, where would
you put the STATION SYMBOL character data in the packet so as to get a ICON
on the display.

The packet you are describing is not a legal packet under the APRS spec, I
doubt any APRS program is going to decode it (findU certainly will not).
Anything you are sending must meet the APRS spec, available for download
from the TAPR site.
Probably the closest you can come is the Mic-E format, which includes the
telemetry and position in a single packet, this is the only format that
includes telemetry with any other data. The Bulletin format is always a
stand-alone packet.

In the destination address, GPSxy(z). See the aprsspec for details,
including a table of all available icons and their xyz values.
