have you gone to www.aprs-is.net and followed the settings for the d-prs message? http://www.aprs-is.net/DPRSCalc.aspx This goes in your DV-GPS menu (02/05) GPS MESSAGE Should work alright then..... I don't use aprs.fi, I use ui-view32 and have no issues with it... For the MS150 we just recently had here in my zone, I used REFFER2 and was able to beacon through the gateway with no problems... Worked out really nice since my call sign was the command post.

I set the radio for GPS-A, set the "unproto" for API282,DSTAR* . My packets are sorta getting out there, but aprs.fi says this: 2010-05-23 04:02:09 UTC: N8TFD>API282,DSTAR*,qAR,K8BIG-B:!3912.21N08421.73W/ [Unsupported packet format] Any thoughts? -73-
