CD	SOFTWARE
CMSG	DISC
GPSHEAD	Use the header as described in your weather station manual. It is likely "_" or "$" to capture the sentence into the associated LT 3 buffer. GPSHEAD 1, 2, and 4 are not used
GPSPORT	2400 NORMAL NOCHECK (use this if wx data is going in on the KPC-3 DE-9 ports 2 data and 5 ground). Data speed might be 4800 NORMAL NOCHECK

HID	OFF
INTERFACE	If WX data coming in DB-25 port: INT GPS If WX data coming in DE-9 port: INT TERMINAL
LT	Use this format for LT 1 & 2: LT 1 !DDMM.mmNSDDDMM.hhW#PHGdddd W2,WAn-N, Any text here WX 1 !4720.20NS12320.45W#PHG5660 W2,WAn-N,WillapaValley WX WA7RW 2 !4720.20NS12320.45W#PHG5660 W2,WAn-N,WillapaValley WX WA7RW 3 (automatically filled in by weather station) Use this format for LT 4: LT 4 ;IRLP-node111111zDDMM.hhNIDDDMM.hhW0FFF.FFFMHz Tnnn CALLSIGN LT 4 ;IRLP-3200111111z4720.20NI12320.45W0147.06MHZ T103 AH6CP HI Note: Put actual callsign at end if using a geographical alias in MYCALL (Geocoord format is DDMM.mm that's tenths of minutes, not seconds)
LTP	1 APN390 VIA WIDE2-2 (signifies TNC is KPC-3+ ver 9.0 and goes out 2 hops) 2 APN390 3 APN390 VIA WIDE2-2 4 APN390 The result is a position report once an hour that goes out two hops, and every 10 mins locally. The weather data is send every 10 mins and goes out two hops. The IRLP loc data goes out every 10 mins locally
MYALIAS	DISABLED
MYCALL	ALIASNAME, e.g. KOPEAK or SOMTN
MYNODE	Check Kantronics manual
MYREMOTE	Use a logon callsign of your choice. For K7GPS-10, the logon is GPSR-10. The R means Remote. This will be matched up with the secret text used in RTEXT to authenticate the logon.

BLT: The BLT parameter controls the timing of when the LT buffers are sent. We can control how often the buffers are sent, and also when they start.
- BLT 1 E 01:00:00 START 00:00:03 Here we are setting BLT 1 so that the TNC sends LT 1 (a position report) once every hour.
- BLT 2 E 00:10:00 START 00:04:06 Here we are setting BLT 2 so that the TNC sends LT 2 (a position report) once every 10 minutes at four minutes and six seconds after start. This will ensure that the position data persists on the D7 and D700 screens.
- BLT 3 E 00:10:00 START 00:06:09 CLEAR Here we are setting BLT 3 so that the TNC sends LT 3 (weather data) once every 10 minutes starting six minutes nine seconds after start.. The CLEAR parameter clears the LT buffer as soon as the buffer is sent. If the buffer is empty, nothing will be sent. This keeps from sending stale data if something happens to the incoming weather data stream from the weather station.
- BLT 4 E 00:10:00 START 00:08:11 Here we are setting BLT 4 so that the TNC sends LT 4 (IRLP node data) once every 10 minutes starting eight minutes 11 seconds after start. This will ensure that the IRLP node data persists on t
