Thanks, Curt..........
First off...... type in the title .... "get together with me THIS
week"? <grin>.
I am in incompetent Newbie -- no apologies, just reality.
In the past, I have had everything working occasionally, but have not
have everything working together _/*consistently*/_. ... rock solid
functionality is the key for demo-ing this to local group in my quest
for grant funding. I have one group interested, but I need to raise
some matching funds.
Right now, I can not get either the radio/OM+/GPS or the Rtrak to be
"seen" by the Alinco/T2-135/Xastir..... and I don't know what I did to
screw it up!!!
Also, I am unable to get my modem working on this computer, so I am
having trouble upgrading. My goal is to upgrade to openSUSE 11.0 and
then be able to grab the Xastir development snapshots as they are available.
My goal is to have :
1) a fairly large number of RTraks paired with either T2/radio/GPS
setups or the new all in one that Scott is working on as my field units
2) a rugged laptop running Xastir and Openoffice spreadsheet under Linux
with a radio and tnc (the Alinco/T2-135 seem to be a good option)
3) a repeater -- maybe tethered helium balloon based to improve
communications capabilities.
For our rural county, I have ( and can display !!!) the shapefiles for
the roads, lakes, trails, rivers, buildings from the County Surveyor's
office. I have the USGS topos,. I will have the aerial photos as soon
as I can work on the dbfawk files.
I just need a wizard to help me pull it together!!!!
I hope to hear from you .................... anyone
<grin>................... jt

Can you specify which of the three systems (Xastir/T2-135, Rtrak, or
OT1+) you're having trouble with and what specific sort of trouble?
That info might help someone to come forward who could help you in
that region of the country.
