Subject: [aprssig] D710 standalone control head!

Today at DCC, kenwood announced that the new D710 control head will be
sold
separately too, since it can be used for APRS with any radio, not just the
D710.

This stand-alone control head will contain most of the APRS function of
the
D710 because it only connects to the TX and RX audio of any other rig and
it
will still work as an APRS display and entry device.  I don't think an
availablility date was announced for the stand-alone unit.

Of course, it will not control the non-d710-radio and it will not
implement
the new automatic insertion of Band B voice freuency in every position
packet nor the TUNE button which can tune the radio to any frquency
included
in such packets.  but all other APRS functions are included.

It will make a nice stand alone APRS unit in many mobile applications that
need two-way mobile APRS functions.


wb4apr, Bob
