Thanks Richard for your reply! I was hoping for a simple "plug in the
lappy" so as not to disturb the rest, just so little time to play :(
Anyways...I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to run the Kenny
in TNC mode and still have the GPS "talk" to lappy via it's Kenny
connection or will the GPS need to be plugged into the lappy? At the end
of the day....it might be just too simple to use a handheld with da lappy
to see myself on a map and then if wanting to see the rest of the world
use the audio from Kenny instead of da handheld.

I don't mean to be so lacking in experimentation but ... the shack has
been demolished, and there just isn't any spare time, oh how I'd luv to
spend a lazy Sunday fiddling....have to ait until retirement me thinks,
hi, hi!

Thanks guys for putting up with all this and this is my last posting, on
the  Kenny that is :))))))


73s de Rod, VK5KFB.
