Hi John<div><br></div><div>I'm not sending the info I sent your email. For some reason even the decimal has me out in Russia. I can't even get look up address to work. </div><div><br></div><div>I may get a twin serial cable and see if the GPS data going to my Icom 880H can be sent to D-rats to the PC. I'm not sure how other 880H are doing it. Run D Rats and GPS at the same time. I know it can't send data but using wifi on a laptop to a router or IPhone as an Internet access. Using the Internet preference I guess one can use that.</div>

Lat/Lon Coordinates for D-Rats are input in 'decimal'
degrees. For example, my coordinates for D-Rats<br>
are Lat: 42.211251 and Lon:
-88.108460 for my location in the chicago
area.<br><br>
