Did you use the "tnc-startup.thd7" startup script and "tnc-stop.thd7" stop script when you defined the interface? If you can see the APRS objects on the kenwood screen, then xastir hasn't put it in PKT mode --- you can't use xastir with the D7 in APRS mode, it has to be in PKT mode. Putting the two correct scripts in the properties dialog for the interface should make xastir get the d7 in the right mode on startup, and put it back in standalone APRS mode when it shuts down. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
