I use the TinyTrak series - versions two and three as it happens.
They interface OK with the 2 metre handhelds and mobile rigs I have
used. <br>
<br>
There were rumours that some of the newer ultra cheap HH's apparently
will go into sleep mode in some APRS situations - check this out
before you commit to buying one for this purpose<br>
<br>
My TT units expect <u>serial</u> input from the GPS. The TT4 may be
happy with a <u>USB</u> input (I haven't used one), but this doesn't
appear obvious from the manual - explore this also.<br>
<br>
I've also used KPC-3 TNC's which have the firmware upgrade to do 1200
VHF APRS work - they do the job too, but are limited to beaconing at a
set time rate - there's nothing necessarily wrong with this if you
follow the guidelines for beacon intervals.<br>
<br>
As I understand it, any PK-232 was capable of 300 baud HF operation and
as such should manage HF APRS quite well at least as a base operation
using (say) UI-View and a HF rig tuned to the correct frequency.
There's almost certainly a Linux option here too, and I would think
that there are many in this group who can advise you there. I don't
think PK-232's were ever capable of HF mobile APRS work as a stand
alone unit, but I imagine someone will correct me if that's not the
case. My TT3 does HF mobile APRS quite well anyway. <br>
<br>
BTW Which EEEpc are you using - and which OS? <br>
<br>
Finally, Google is also your friend in all of these challenges.<br>
<br>
73 & good luck with your experiment(s) - have fun - that's why we
do it, <br>

<pre wrap="">Hey Guys
I am looking for a tnc to be used in a mobile situation. I have a eeepc and
a usb gps to use.
Into a cheap handheld.
What is the most efficient way to do mobile for HF?
What is suggested for the tnc
I am also looking for the mods for a pk232 to be used for aprs hf as well if
someone could point me in the correct direction
thanks
Sam
