It didn't work apparently. Nothing on aprs.fi. It appears to be TXing. Tried 5w and 10w. The audio to the mic input may be too low for the Yaesu. The OT+ website mentions this for some mobile units (but doesn't mention which ones) The OT+ has a jumper to set higher audio so will try that.
Meanwhile, got myself an Acer Aspire One D250 netbook. Pretty damned nifty. Should be even better when I set it up for dual boot OpenSuSe Linux Made an adaptor to allow the GPS16 (RS232) to plug into the netbook and power up from car battery. The GPS is the HVS model so won't operate from 5V unfortunately. Ready to start mapping for OpenStreetMap and try some nav software. And sniffing. I have a low power car to laptop adaptor I used to use to charger a cordless drill (it needed 17 volts) Now all I need is the doodad on the end to fit the netbook power. None of the normal ones fit. Looking forward to plugging it into the IC-706 using Ham Radio Deluxe as well.
