Hello Jon! Somewhere on my website is a page of information of how to do
this. But for the sake of brevity I will attach instructions here unless my
mind is failing me today. If any problems let me know and we will resolve
it. Hope this helps. 73...

Here's the step-by-step:
1. Install PM 3.0 per the CD instructions
Number 2 and 3 are optional as you can run the program off the CD. This is
up to you.
2. Create a new \DATA2 folder and a \STATES folder
3. Copy the desired 'state' files off the \STATES folder on the CD to the
\STATES folder on the hard drive (12.zpx for Florida)
4. Download the PMAP30.OCX and unzip it
5. Edit the PMAPOCX.BAT file, to change all '\windows\' calls to '\winnt\'
6. FIND a copy of MFCANS32.DLL (from a Win95 machine) and copy it to the
\winnt\system\ directory
7. Run the PMAPOCX.BAT file you edited. (it should complete with a
'success' message)
8. Start WinAPRS, and under the 'Windows' pull-down, select 'New Map Prec
Map'
9. Click on the OPT box, and enter the letter of the hard drive where you
earlier created the \states\ folder.

Greetings all -
Trying to use my PMAP3.0 for WinAPRS 2.5.1 on a new WinXP Pro machine.
When I run the pmapocx.bat batch file, I get the error
Regsvr32
!LoadLibrary("MAPOCX.OCX") failed - The specified module could not be
found.

I have it working on WindowsXP Pro with out too many problems. Had to get
one file from windows 98 and convert the pmap_ocx file to install
correctly. Using Precision mapping 3.0
You have to do 2 things to get the pmapocx driver on Win XP
1. You have to edit the pmapocx.bat file to look like this.
copy MAPOCX.OCX c:\Windows\System32\MAPOCX.OCX
copy OC30.DLL c:\Windows\System32\OC30.DLL
C:
cd \Windows\System32
Regsvr32 MAPOCX.OCX
C = the drive letter that Win XP is installed on. If you installed on a
different drive change the drive letter.
2. You need to get a file off of a windows 98 computer
MFCANS32.DLL and put it in the \Windows\System32 folder.

Hi All
On my APRS map I have seen symbols that are a green star
with the letter R in the middle. I know that the green star means
that the station is a digi. What does the R stand for?
Let us hope we never witness the "Silence Of The Hams"

I'm pretty sure that something of the age of a Garmin 40 doesn't
have any flash in it. It's a ROM device. There's now way for the
user to do an upgrade on it.
My GPS-II+ can be user upgraded, the GPS-II cannot. I think some
models at least of GPS-12 and GPS-12XL can be user upgraded.
Anything older, like a 38/40/45, cannot. That might explain why
you're not finding images for those old ones. Sorry!

DIGIpeater Overlays
R if RELAY only
W if RELAY and WIDE
T if RELAY,WIDE and TRACE
N if WIDEn-N (and relay,wide and trace) and NOID is set
I if WIDEn-N (and relay,wide and trace) but ID is set to ON
J if Just WIDEn-N and no others supported
U if UI-DIGI firmware
D if DIGI_NED
These have been the recommendations for some time, well over a year.
Unfortunately, many digis have an incorrect or outdated overlay character.
This results in a sort of a "false advertising" due to sysop neglect,
operating in "set it and forget it" mode.
Hope this helps.

Hi list,
I'm looking for a roof mount GPS for my friend Adam KB0VYO.
There are quite a number of NMO mount GPS antennas, but are there any
complete GPSs?
Thanks,
-Jim KB0THN
