For a non-licensed radio service? Monitor 11 meters for an answer.

Speaking of FRS, how bad does malicious interference have to get before the
FCC will get involved, and will they actually do anything? Seems like it's
close to unusable in some parts.

Nothing formal, but I try to keep up-to-date notes on any informal
updates and errata...

Yes, select OTHER for the ICON and then enter the symbol as & then when
it asks for TABLE, that is when you enter the overlay character of "S"

I can see them, with advice from the olde guarde of Newington, dragging

I would. I would really like to play with HF APRS and PSK31 on HF, but
really have no desire to jump through someone else's arcane hoops just to
do so.

Subject: APRS on PocketPC users?
From: "Jacob Tennant" <k8jwt@hotmail.com>

X-Message-Number: 17
Looking really hard into getting a Dell Axim X5 for personal as well as
APRS/HAM use and was wondering if anyone else is using one of these?
Also was wondering if any of you have any advice on APRS for PocketPC? since
I have never used/had a PocketPC device looking into all of my options.
Thank you in advance...

Huh? What does this mean

This is totally ambigous!!!
What initialization files?
For what program?
For what kind of computer?

Be sure maps for your proposed operating areas are available first!
1) Confusingly, Pocket APRS doesn't work on Pocket PCs -- it's for Palm OS
devices! APRSce is the program that runs on Pocket PCs.
Get APRSce for Pocket PC here:
http://www.tapr.org/~aprsce/
2) APRSce uses either DOS APRS, WinAPRS or Pocket APRS for Palm format
maps. Meaning the small area segmented maps that leave many areas
uncoveredn -- it can't use maps extracted from continous-coverage street
map CD ROMs like Delorme Street Atlas, MS Map Point or Undertow Precision
Mapping.
Very frustrating since Microsoft MapPoint provides a utility that can
extract chunks of maps up to about 20 miles across for use with Pocket
Streets. These are fully zoomable, vector-based maps that contain data down
to street level. Delorme's Solus and Xmap do about the same thing for the
SteetAtlas CDROM
Both apps even work with a GPS connected to the Pocket PC's serial port --
but not with any known APRS application.
3) How are you going to deal with both the GPS and radio/TNC data streams
since Pocket PCs normally only have one serial port. If you are going to
use a Kenwood TH-D7 or D700, the issue is trivial since you connect the GPS
to the radio's dedicated GPS port and then connect the radio's main serial
port (only) to the pocket device. APRSce has init files for the Kenwood
'7s that expect both GPS and TNC data on the same port.

Good evening, Cap -
Indeed, it was the missing file MFCANS32.DLL that was the trick. Copied
it over from my old Win98SE system and reran the batch file. Worked like
a charm. Thanks very much.
Per other suggestions, I have also decided to look into UI-VIEW and see
how much I like that.
Thanks again for your help!

Well, along THOSE lines... Anyone seen the article about the WiFi
networks? McDonalds and Starbucks are going to start providing

Subject: FCS implementation in C?
From: "Scott Miller" <scott@home.miller.org>
Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2003 20:13:20 -0700
X-Message-Number: 23
Has anyone got a good, clean implementation of the AX.25 FCS algorithm in
C? I started looking it up, but I wasn't having much luck and I'm going
brain dead from staring at a spectrum analyzer and listening to mutant test
frames from my new tracker.
I'll post the source code when it's working. I was going to try starting
with the Son of Tinytrak code, but most of the guts were written in PIC
assembly so I started from scratch in C for the HC908KX8. When finished,
it should be fairly portable, assuming you've got the patience to go
through the modulator code and make sure that the number of cycles in each
conditional branch are equal when compiled.
Thanks...
Scott
