BTW as I always I appreciate the info available...sometimes it is just out of my league...
No problem, stick with it, it will become 2nd nature after a while.
As far as APRS, thanks, I search on aprs.fi and it says doesn't exist in database. I still can't see that particular one on aprs.fi...I guess you can't just go to the website and type in a callsign like for everyone else. So I will have to take your word on that...and that narrows down the trouble a bit.
Go to aprs.fi click on raw packets set Originating callsign to KF5DEY* which says look for KF5DEY all SSIDs
I don't see any of your position beacons and gps is NOT getting a fix.
Left connector from DRAWS to FT-857D
I'll send more info tomorrow.
