<body class='hmmessage'>Ok, I did some experiments with another D-rats station.<BR>
They're seeing my GPS Beacons, but I'm not. All of my other QST's are echoed back to the<BR>
screen so that I can see them being sent. For some reason the GPS beacons are not being echoed.<BR>
Can this be fixed?<BR>
<BR>
I also noticed that I loose connectivity to the GPS if I disable the QST (or change it in some way).<BR>
When I enable the QST again, the message down in the corner says "Unable to open GPS port".<BR>
The only way I can restore the connection is to exit from D-rats and start it up again, then everything<BR>
works fine.<BR>
