The FCC requires that you ID *your transmissions*, not the information you
disseminate. Only the RF you radiate must be identified by you. When you ID
with your callsign when using a repeater, you're doing that to ID your own
radiation to the repeater. It doesn't matter if everyone who hears your
voice also hears your ID.

Also, findU has a special page for tracking B2V:
http://b2v.findu.com
This page highlights the ability of findU to support special features, in
this case the position of the teams on the route are calculated in the
table below the map, showing the leg and distance remaining for each team.

I wish.. The old manual is a pain to work with. I checked it out and it is
only the upgrade part of the manual. It is a fine TNC but I think that HF
TNC's are going to have a hard time with all the sound card based modems
now.
I bought one of the first PK-900's in 92' or so and it always ran rings
around my KAM and KAM+. BUT I see the upgrade alone for the full boat is
$xxx, tough to swallow for a 10 year old TNC that has declining value in the
sound card market.

Same thing happens when you go 'out of range' of a repeater. One OO
locally who's a bit of a ... well, you know. Anyway, he issued a
warning for someone who went 'out of range' and his ID wasn't the
last thing people heard on the repeater. Got ripped into pretty harsh
in the discussions about it.
Now if someone were to intentionally reduce power to ID, seems to
me that might be breaking the spirit of the rule. As to the 'legality' of
the rule, I seem to remember at one time that you had to ID (I'm not
sure it's in the most recent regs!) if you significantly changed your
operating station parameters. Such as 'frequency' or 'power'.
I guess it's time to dig out the rules so all the arm-chair lawyers can
have a go at it.

You must ID before you change frequency, but not if you change power.

Subject: HSP cable use questions

I am looking at using a HSP cable with my laptop in the truck and was
wondering about the way it works?
I have 3 KPC-3 TNC's and I am to cheap to buy any more TNC's for now...
What I am hoping to achieve is a complete APRS so as to:
1. Full laptop useable system while out and about.
2. When I stop and leave the vehicle, turn off the laptop and the TNC/GPS
tracker continues operation unless they are turned off.
3. As simple operation as possible, meaning I can set the parameters via the
TNC Init and TNC Restore files of WinAPRS.
