What is this supposed to mean?
Hard Reset of what?

No, AFAIK it does that only in TNC PKT mode! What you could do is split the
NMEA-signal to two signals with an basic Y-adapter. RS-232 is able to drive
more then one receiver at a time. So transmitted data from GPS is splitted,
recieved signal should come only from one source (which is obvious).
Normally you would use the signal from your D700 to get incoming posits to
waypoints for the GPS if it has a map display.

Has anyone constructed a cheap pagers for activating local ARES members?
Would the FCC rules not allow this?

Kantronics TNC's can generate paging signals.
I've often thought that would be a GREAT thing to interfafce to APRS so
you could send a message and then a PC somewhere would send the signal to
the KPC-3+ which would send out a PAGE.
THink of it as APRS messaging to any cheap pager you can find...
SOmeone needs to figure it all out...

For those interested in XML schema for APRS sorts of applications, there is
a Slashdot mention today of an interesting product coming out of te OpenGIS

Juergen,
I do not think what you are asking can be done in the APRS mode without
a Y-adapter cable to split the signal.
However, I get the GPS data off the serial port using the TNC mode with
APRS+SA. I do this with my D700 using APRS+ SA without the need of
any extra Y-adapters. APRS+SA has a special mode called MODE7 that
can pass GPS data from the serial port to the Street Atlas Map to update
your position, but it does require a computer on the serial port to accomplish
this activity.
The D700 can pass the GPS data on the serial port in the TNC mode but
not the APRS mode.

It really depends on the software you are using. Many users of UI-View32
are running mobile trackers with UIV/D700s with their laptops. I have
used Winaprs/D700/Rand McNally GPS with no problems. No need for extra
cables. My GPS is plugged into the D700 and both WinAPRS and UI-View can
share the GPS through the D700.
Follow the help instructions in the programs and have fun..

Make sure that you consider what infrastructure the paging system uses.
Something that doesn't dispatch through the phone system, or other wired
systems would be preferable. I am familiar with www.metrocall.com's my2way
service, having a fellow ham that is an RF engineer for them. They use
satellite dispatch... from the tower closest to the device. Device to device
traffic goes to the tower, up to the sat, back down to the dispatch center, is
queued, goes back up to the sat, and down to the towers. The dispatch center
is in arizona, where there is not a lot of weather or other natural disaster
opportunities...
The engineer, locally, has tried to help get deals worked with the company,
where various support groups can signup for a single dispatch number, get
multiple pagers at a reduced cost, and then pay a single user monthly fee.
You might be able to find a local deal similar to this with metrocall, or
another non-wired dispatch paging service...

No, the idea with the KPC-9612+ and using APRS pagers is 100% ham radio.
The KPC-9612+ can send POCSAG pager messages, all HAMS need to do is get
old pagers and re-crystal them to a HAM paging frequency.
The KPC-9612+ can receive messages for paging on the PACKET side and then
send them out POCSAG on the pager side. SO everything exists. Just
someone needs to do it..
