Speak of the devil. APRS is having a bit of a comeback in WA recently, even
in the short time I've been involved.
This flash TNC box came by way of VK6LUX (Meg) who is friends with SK VK6IW
Dave's family. They wanted to see all his stuff get back with hams and into
good use. Wwe'll find a use for it somewhere.

Thanks Joe. Hopefully you don't have the problems I encounter using gmail. I
couldn't even send a zip file due to it containing an executable.

I take it they are electrolytics. I'll replace them and that'll sort that
out.
