I'm assuming TNC mode - in which case the APRS settings in the D710 shouldn't make any difference, as it's the igate software which determines the transmit path.. That said, the path in the igate software depends on what you're actually doing - are you gating from the internet to RF? if so, you'd probably want to set it to no path at all, so it doesn't make it into the local systems as you drive through, but you still see traffic on your 710 in the car.. - or more preferrably, move to another frequency entirely ;) Or if you're not transmitting packets from internet->RF, then it doesn't really matter at all :)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>DG</div><div><br></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div>Damien Gardner Jnr<br>VK2TDG.
