I ran across an interesting utility the other day. It allows the overlaying of APRS data on top of Google Earth. The utility is called APRSKML, and can be found here. The utility is well documented, and I was able to set it up within minutes. If you're in the south central BC area, try the following settings (on the APRS IS screen):

A fellow ham approached me with a defective Kenwood TM-D700A transciever. The unit showed no signs of life. There was no display, and no response to pressing the power button. The only hint was that the cable between the radio and remote head had recently been repaired. |

It's time once again for the CQ WW WPX ham radio contest. I like to participate in contests just to get a few more callsigns in my logbook. However, this time, I'm not sure I'm going to get much chance. We're picking up a new puppy tonight, and I think spare time is going to be a rare commodity over the next little while. I'll have to squeeze a few contacts in just so I can say I participated. I'll post some puppy pictures in my moblog tonight. |

I just posted a how-to article describing adding additional analog inputs to a Kantronics TNC. Out ham radio club was installing a new APRS repeater, and had asked if there was any way of monitoring multiple analog values (specifically, two battery banks, the presence or absence of AC mains, and a temperature reading). I spent some time studying the schematics and doing some research on the web. I was unable to find any specific how-to articles other than vague references to using additional CPU pins. After building and testing the circuit, I decided to post an article describing the process for anyone interested in doing the same thing. Keywords: Kantronics, KPC-9612 Plus, Telemetry |

I came across this excellent article about the importance of adjusting your TNC output levels to correctly drive your transmitter. Until now, I've just basically atached the TNC to the radio, and it just worked. By following the adjustment procedure outlined in the article, I was able to increase the range of my APRS Internet gateway quite significantly. |
