Another question for the gang: I run a Kenwood TMD700 in the truck for APRS. My home station consists of a 2 meter rig (Yaesu) and I use UI-View for APRS (I am a digistation) and WinPack AGW V6.80 and AGW packet Engine. I am unsure of how or what I need to work PCSat without changing a bunch of my settings in UI-View.. Is there another program to use with my radio that will allow me to work PCSat without playing with my settings?

Fred,
Take a look at UISS here: http://users.belgacom.net/hamradio/uiss.htm
I have not done much with it, except to verify that you can plug it in to the AGWPE, instead of or in addition to, UI-VIEW32. It works fine for terrestrial APRS, though the display is a bit crude. It has all the hooks already in for ARISS, PCSAT, etc. Perhaps someone here with experience using it with the APRS sats can comment.
It is freewear/donationwear. There is a free key which I have been waiting for a couple of days, which unlocks a few additional functions, and then there is the donor key, which gives a few more. However, the base program seems eminently useable, and certainly for testing.

Thanks all.....
