I probably shouldn't reply because I won't be directly answering your
question, but I've looked at both scripts and I choose the aprs_status
so it would play nicely on my aprsd/irlp machine. Here's what findu
sees after I spit a packet into via udp into the stream.

Is there anyone else that has a Davis WWlll and has the hardware figured
out to connect it to a PC. If you buy their software for $xxx you get the
cable. Like ext cables for the instruments...they are standard telephone
cable. What is used for the data port? Obviously it is like an RJ11. What
about the other end? We are HAMS...were cheap...if we can build it we save
bucks! :-)

You guys might want to be careful.... Garmin may come after you for
violating Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
It is a violation of a provision of the DMCA to reverse engineer an
encoding scheme (No matter how simple or easy to figure out) that is
employed to protect copyrighted information.
Lexmark is using this to sue a manufacturer of 3rd party ink cartridges for
their printers, claiming that the manufacturer violated the DMCA by reverse
engineering their printer to ink-cartridge communication protocol (the
ink-cartridges contain a microcontroller) to make the printer think the 3rd
party cartridges where Lexmark's
Hopefully, Garmin is more enlightened than that, but then again they may
not want someone making a "Rhino" compatabile (but cheaper) radio.

I have recently (today) been shown documentation that shows port 14580 in
aprsd. This documentation was not made available to me when we decided
upon using this port, and indeed, no objections were made on this sig when
the port was announced. Had I been made aware, it would have been very
easy to change ports. Now, I think it is unreasonable to attempt such a
move.
I don't think users will assume they will get anything special from aprsd
port 14580. Most users, including all of the ones I have personally
contacted, know that this port is only supported by the (mainly Tier 2)
javAPRSSrvr servers.

Am in the process of configuring another tracker for our Mason County, WA
Dept of Emergency Management.
I will be using an old KPC-3 (plain KPC-3 not the +) and want to feed it
external power via the DB9 connector. I made the cable like I do for the
KPC-3+ and went inside the TNC to move the jumpers, however, the layout is
completely different from the +. In the + I have to move jumpers J6 and J7
from center to pin 2. On the KPC-3 there is no such configuration. There
is a J6 but it is only 2 pins which presently are not connected. I found a
spot for a J7 but there are just 3 holes in the circuit board. I do not
have the manual nor the schematic for the KPC-3.
Does someone know what the internal configuration needs to be to supply
external 12 V power to the TNC via the DB9 connector. If so, please send me
the particulars.
Thanks,
