Done. The new one is a bit happier, though it too stopped displaying a while ago. I shut down and re-started, displaying again.

The new program seems to have that solved.

I shut APRSIS32 down and when I opened hyper term, there were readable packets without trash. I ecpect APRSIS32 returns the TNC to CMD mode on exit though. I just tried to look at Hyperterm while APRSIS32 was running and was told that the port was busy, so as I expected, I can't look at it while running.

upgrade, enable the file logging and the RF port logging, run it for a while and then send the APRSIS32*.LOG files to KJ4ERJ@... along with your APRSIS32.XML file.

I don't find an "RF port" log option. Perhaps "activity"?

Yah... I'm building a utility trailer I've been a fabricator for 40 years. It's pretty much brainless and therapeutic and I DID use the BFH (That's a Big Ferrous Hammer, They're made of iron)

Now, it's off to bed for me. My one brain cell just frosted over, I'll run it tomorrow and send the logs.

Thanks for holding my hand through this.
