Thanks Keith for the instructions. They will be a big help in trying to get connected. I know the Yaesu won't transmit with ui view so maybe I should be trying this with my Kenwood 710.?
I'll try to set it up tomorrow and let you know how I do.

I am using UI-View with a Yaesu FTM-400. How do I connect to APRS-IS?
Is your question about how to connect your FTM-400 (receive only) to UI-View, or how to connect UI-View to the APRS-IS?
To connect the FTM-400 to UI-View, go into menu and tap on DATA. In the Com Port settings, set the speed to match what UI-View is set for (e.g. 4800 bps or 9600 bps) and set the output to PACKET. In DATA BAND SELECT set it to B-Band Fixed for both APRS & DATA. I¡¯m assuming you would want to reserve the A band for C4FM. In DATA SPEED set both for 1200 bps¡ unless you are actually using 9600 bps on the air. It will be RX only.
To connect UI-View, in the APRS Server Setup, just connect to e.g. noam.aprs2.net on port 14580. Enter your APRS validated number. Enter any desired filter in the EXTRA Logon Text. You can open the gateway, gate objects, & insert station call sign.
It¡¯s pointless enabling anything in ¡°Gate Internet to RF¡± as the TNC in the ¡°400¡± will be RX only for UI-View.
Basically, you will be able to gate whatever you hear to whatever server you connect to, but you won¡¯t be able to transmit anything to RF from UI-View. The FTM-400 itself can continue to beacon to RF if you wish.
