Over four years and trouble free.
Jury is still out on the value of Moblinkd and Aprsdroid.

My pick for the best: <broken link removed>...Suggestions?
I like to use tech where I can use tech.
I don't want to have to fall back to smoke signals or mirrors.
This time of year up here on the mountain I can't see 100 feet most of the time.
Pass the test and drop me a PM if you would like an older Kenwood mobile. Some incentive to get your ticket and a radio to get you started.So I took some practice tests for Tech.
I passed the first 5 times and got to the point where I passed it every time (just a few fails - usually something to do with Q codes or which bands allow which modes or that kind of stuff). Got 100% a couple of times and now I am over 90% every time.
So I could go ahead and take it now.
I does apear that this one can even act as a digipeater. So yes, I would say that it can send and receive APRS transmissions.Can an HT, like the Kenwood TH-D72A, with built-in TNC, GPS and APRS, transmit position and/or simple text, directly to another APRS capable HT without going through various APRS nodes or the APRS network?
I am sure it could if connected to PC APRS software or AVMAP. That could plot the position on a map. It may be able to read position data and weather if sent directly, but I have never played with one, so no first hand experience. Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell them in an emergency?Could a person who received the position data then input this into a GPS map display to track the other person's position?
Looking to take a class for getting HAM license. I have a VX7R, and have listened, but would like to be able to use it. Any place close to Rock Creek Beav/NW Port to take a class and take test?
