On any 3 wire RS232 connection I use I jumper the flow-control wires in the
plug at both ends. That way you never get into trouble with either
hardware-flowcontrol or DCD detection.
You need to connect the following pins in the plug:
1) Connect RTS to CTS - this will get rid of hardware flowcontrol problems
2) Connect DTR, DSR and DTR toghether, this will get rid of carrier-detect
problems
I always do this and never have to worry about it afterwards.
By the way, my laptop uses Windows ME too and I never had a problem with
that. Of course it is not Linux, but for a Windows OS its not bad. I don't
quite understand the issues that people have with ME.
Kind regards,
Henk.

I tried to adjust my TH-D7 to show all 67 characters of the beacon comment
but I can't find the correct setting :-(...
Kind regards,
Henk.
P.S. It works when I extend my TH-D7 with a PocketAPRS Palm Pilot :-)

Still no joy on 2115z pass of the ISS. Guess it was a false alarm.

James K9APR de www.tawg.org and I have been comparing notes and can't yet
determine his problem running APRSdos in WinXPpro. It works FB here, but
not for James, and we've compared our computers' directory structures and
many Windows settings. James sent images of his display problem but we
don't recognize the machine language he's seeing.
You can find images of his problem at http://members.cruzio.com/~cap/k9apr/
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance.

It's not machine language, but I don't know what it IS either.
I can bring an XP laptop down maybe on the weekend and hack with it.
I'm running UI-View on my XP machines.

I'm the James that Cap is referring about. I can run every APRS program
except APRSDos......

The screen is obviously intended to be displayed in the traditonal DOS PC-8
character set that uses the 8-bit extended ASCII character values above
decimal 127 for box and line drawing, and block graphics. Somehow the
8th bit of characters being set to the virtual DOS screen is getting turned
on, shifting the characters from normal letters/numbers in the range from
32 to 127 decimal (normal ASCII) to extended characters in the range from
160 to 255 instead
By the way, the native fonts for Windows use a different extended character
set ("ANSI" or "ISO Latin1") which reuses the same numeric values to
display a larger range of accented Roman letters used in French, Spanish
and German. For proper DOS screen displays in Windows, a special font
(usually called the "OEM" font -- an allusion to IBM's proprietary
character set) that duplicates the original IBM character set built into
CGA/EGA/VGA display adapter hardware must be present on the system.

The TigerTronics TigerTrak doesn't use Mic-E (like the Tiny Trak). It
generates a standard short-form plain-text APRS message. Although the unit
can store 10 configurations with different beacon intervals and paths, it
only can store one STATUS text string. Each configuration can either use,
or not use, the STATUS text but there is only one string available.

In plain English please. Would it be the video adapter causing this? I tried
to run APRS Dos on a friends Pentium and got the same display.
