Re: [gpsd-users] Ideas for Kenwood D700 Radio Support

[IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR]

Gary,

Well, the problem is that as far as I know (I disclaim this belief is  
not substantiated by any documentation, even though I did find the  
manuals)!

Now that I have located and downloaded the manuals, I have only to  
read them. Here is a link to the site which is inclusive of the APRS  
manual too.

If gpsd can just send the NMEA data out a serial port in the absence  
of it being in response to a request for a specific type of string,  
then, yes, your idea would work with perfection!


V/R and 73,
