with a

capabilities of

It

> coast for cruising yachts, and the local district.
> I need a suitable TNC/controller for the digi.
> I have tried the RX_RLY12 PIC based version but it will only repeat the

> The power limitations prevent the use of a computer running one of the
APRS

> Using an dm700 as a digi would be an over kill.
> Can you advise on which way to go now.
