Mike,<br><br>I am running on a WIN7 machine. My GPS is reporting good information and I do show up on DPRS. I notices something in the CHAT log last night.

</div>Hi Fran,<br>
<br>
I'm running 0.3.3b2 on Fedora 13 Linux, using an IC-2820 radio (and<br>
sometimes an IC-92AD). Both work fine. In fact, it's fun to monitor the<br>
local repeater (K0MDG) on Sunday nights when the Ozark D-STAR net is on,<br>
I get position reports from all over the place!<br>
<br>
A couple of basic questions: Is your GPS is reporting good position<br>
data? And do you see the position reported by the radio via DPRS?<br>
<br>
You might try a test using a simplex frequency where you know you're<br>
close enough for a good RF path.<br>
