[OZAPRS] D700 Internal GPS

[Howard Small]

Hi Gordo

What I have in mind is to change the four core cable on the D700 for a 
six core cable and use the extra two to carry the NMEA signal. At the 
control unit end I could put a six conductor connector on a small jiffy 
box glued to the control unit case. In there, or in the unit itself, I 
could put the small GPS and antenna. then take the necessary leads in 
through a small hole in the case...
