If you've got the ability why not go 9600 baud on 70cm for a APRS-IS -> RF
gateway.  There is a channel already in the band plan for such activities,
nothing says it has to be 1200 baud.  There are plenty of radios out there
now that can do 9600 baud, direwolf would eat it for breakfast.

That has been something in the back of my mind to get installed here in
Adelaide for a trial at some point.
