I ran into the same thing a couple years ago when I rented a car from
Enterprise in London. I borrowed a fuse from another slot that didn't
appear to be used (CD player or something like that. It was an odd
fuse. I went a bunch of places trying to find one like it. I was
trying to power my RS 10M mobile.

Nothing new here. I think everyone on this SIG has heard of War Driving...
Problem is WEP is breakable and Apple laptops with built-in 802.11b do not
adhere to standard WEP setups - so it's almost impossible to have Apple
computers on a wireless network on a non-Apple access point with WEP
enabled. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Why they don't include a normal setup
page is beyond me. I've Googled this and found hundreds of complaints.
And yes, I'm aware of the quotes and $ stuff...
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/apple_wep.htm
But it doesn't work on many AP's.
Normally we run MAC Filtering & WEP unless the client has mixed platforms,
then MAC Filtering only.
BTW, a lot of people and companies deliberately keep their Access Points
open as it allows vendors and business partners to access the 'net. When
I was at Hamboree 2003, I noticed the Sioux City Convention center had an
open access point, which was nice, because I could check my E-mail on my
Pocket PC.

Wes,

It is by design. The filter definitions are OR together, i.e.
Pass if t/m OR r/34/-80/500
In your case you will get all APRS message traffic and all traffic within
your range definition.

PCsat will enter full sun on 17 July and be fully functional through 1
August or later. Check your travel and summer portable OPS plans for
opportunities. Passes will be within +/- 1.5 hours of Sunset and Sunrise
(thats why its in full sun!).
PCsat can hear a 5W HT on an omni antenna, and mobiles just fine. PCsat
is simply a packet digipeater on 145.825 with the callsign of W3ADO-1.
We will also need IGates to return to active duty on 145.825 for that time
period and as long afterwards as we can maintain positive power budget.
Twice we have extended that for over 30 days past full sun...
PCsat is now only usable in afternoon sun passes for -short- packets.

My Igate/Satgate is back on 145.825 and is fed to UI-View32 as the 2nd port.
Lemme know if there is something else you want me to do.

I have the Garmin IV set to put out NMEA and when connected to a laptop
using WINaprs I can see the strings put out by the GPS and it tracks my car
fine on the maps, But it is not sending out the info via RF. I want to run
it as a stand alone tracker in the car without the laptop.
My question: is there a special initialization string needed to be sent to
the GPS to get it to work or is there someone out there running a similar
setup who could send me their TNC setup for that combination. Thanks.
For info, I was using a Tripmate with the KPC3-Plus with no problems. I
have not changed any of the TNC setups since using that combination.

qAS in this case means that the IGate is probably a station connected to
WA6OFT-15. qAS means that a q-enabled server first saw the packet from
WA6OFT-15 which is not q-enabled. It also means that the IGate is not
indicating that it is an IGate via the qAR or I constructs.
