[OZAPRS] Low cost HF Modem

[Steve Davis]

Mike, and others that have responded on this thread.

(copied to ZLAPRS list for interest)

We need to keep the same as existing HF 300bps packet, as there is 
already a reasonable amount of gear being used out there.

Have a look at the Tigertronics TM-1 Tracker. At $US90 it is not as 
cheap as a TT3, but in general is cheaper and smaller than buying a 
new GPS capable HF TNC.

I believe that there are a few in use in VK and ZL already.

I just have become a dealer for Tigertronics equipment here in NZ, 
and will have some in stock shortly.
