Sam,
	I'm using an OpenTracker inside a Wagner 1729 HF radio that has been 
converted to work on 30m.
	I have a another one buried inside a Motorola MCX-100 for my VHF. The only 
thing they share is the GPS feed.
	I will generally use one or the other depending on where I am although I have 
had both going on occassions. Configuration guides are available on the aprs 
website.
	I use the same SSID in both trackers although some may argue this is not 
recommended as per the aprs guide.
	My reasoning for doing this however, is that the "target" the same vehicle 
and being ex-military, I'm keen on my position being correlated correctly; 
regardless of the communications means.
	If you go by the guide, I would be VK1IAN-9 and VK1IAN-15 so the same vehicle 
would be represented by 2 icons/ssids/tracks. Apart from being confusing, it 
is just plain ugly ;-)
