[OZAPRS] Balloon

[Gordon Taylor]

Craig,
	I think there is.

If you connect a conventional or Soundcard TNC to the DATA socket on the
D700 the TNC will key up and receive through the currently active PTT
channel.

So have UI-View connected via the TNC and you can have the APRS mode
selected on the APRS frequency and view the activity.

Regards

Gordon
