Howdy,
Turned on my D700 "OPENING TNC" stayed on forever.
Power cycle did nothing. - func key odd behavior.
GPS on same power bus - no probs must be just kenwood.
Full reset on radio - fixed it.
Kinda got its nickers in a knot.
Cheers Andrew VK4TEC

I don't to get too far afield from APRS, but I've been told German tort law
is far more onerous than here in the states. Many years ago I had to
attend traffic school and they showed us videos of crash testing in Europe
- Most of which has to be done in France, because they can't do it in any
other country over there. Likewise with auto RF and lightning strike
testing...
Although there are rumors that Schuberth (maker of the System 4 helmet)
declined to bring their products to North America due to fears of product
liability suits, that doesn't necessarily mean the rumors are true or the
fears are well founded. I have found that non-staters have many odd
misconceptions about the U.S. Many years ago I worked for a book jobber
and we had a Canadian publisher refuse to send us books with Christian
themes because they we certain that teaching religion (or supplying
religious materials) to school children was ILLEGAL in the United States...
A number of OTHER manufacturers have offered helmets with features very
similar to the System-4 helmet since at least 1984 in North America, and I
don't recall hearing about any lawsuits brought based on their
designs. Have you looked at the Shoei Syncrotec? BTW, I think the
biggest payout in a motorcycle helmet lawsuit was not in the U.S., but
Canada.
