As in software? Yes, aprsd will do it if it's turned on. After N8DEU
brought it to my attention we made sure those people running igates
feeding Nashvilleaprs.net had it shut off. Version 0.2 of my RIMiGate
software (which uses aprsd) has MicE decoding turned off by default, 0.1
had it turned on.

Lets use the correct terminology. I think you are talking about Mic-E
format and not "compressed" which is a different and little used APRS
format.
Second, only position reports are Mic-E. Messages and Bulletins are sent
in normal APRS message format.
Does that help?

OOPS, nevermind. I was half right. (These are Mic-E)
but the others are "converted" position reports which is what your point
was... nevermind. Back under my rock... Bob

I'll be taking a little trip here in a few weeks in someone else's
car and then returning by train... I have just built a cable to go
from my KPC3 and my Kenwood TH-25AT so I can run my I-Gate completely
on batteries. But, I would now like to interface my GPS to my KPC3
so I can have a tracker while cruising (from Eastern North Carolina
to Connecticut and back).
Here are a few questions I have...
1. Can I hook the GPS up through the 9-pinn port on the modem? I
have a weather station that is hooked up like this so I'm guessing
that I can. (?) I would rather do this just incase I want to hook up
my laptop to the whole shebang...
2. How do I put my symbol information in with the GPS string that is
sent out over the air. Should I mention that I only have Version 6.0
firmware in this modem?
73s,
Eric KF4OTN

Get a TinyTrak3 and use it instead of the KPC3. It's far less hassle for a
mobile installation. The older KPC3 firmware is limited in capability.
The TT sends much shorter packets that are more likely to get through, and
it incorporates smart beaconing that automatically transmits less
frequently when you move slowly or stop. It can store two different
configurations of path, comment field and transmit interval that can be
switch-selected in the field without a computer. It can transmit either
plain text or Mic-E compressed mode for REALLY short bursts. If you really
want to save battery power, the TT3 can be configured to control a relay to
turn on power to the radio just before it beacons and turn it off
afterwards until the next beacon.
All for less than the cost of a firmware upgrade for the KPC3! ( $xx for the
kit! )
