[OZAPRS] THD7A battery

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Hey, we were driving 3500km over 10 days, covering four states, I  
*had* to take the aprs rig!  Although since my etrex got stolen out of  
the hilux ages back, i'm setting the position manually off the GPS in  
my phone, so it's a little painful, so I was just turning it on as we  
came near largish towns and setting the pos if i heard aprs traffic :)

what would be *really* cool, is a java app for my nokia 6110 (or is it  
6120? or 6210? i dunno - the nokia navigator ;) ) that connects to one  
of the aprsd's, and uses the inbuilt GPS to send my positions out..    
(Have a 1GB data plan on my mobile, as I use it as a data modem for my  
macbookpro :) )

Cheers,

DG

  We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
  and tore the world asunder
