Hi Ray.....we bought a new car and i was not to fit any radios or
ants to it<br>
also bought a HTC Wildfire mobile phone....<br>
found out there was a Android app that would use the GPS and web
connection to send a APRS track to the net.....<br>
d/l APRSDroid put in callsign and callpass ,turned the GPS on and
VK4BDJ-10 was on the air.....<br>
ok its not RADIO but for me was a easyway to get a APRS tracker on
air.....<br>
have to remember to stop it tracking while in the Shopping Centre or
else it gets all confused hi hi<br>
<br>
there is more than one way of ??? the cat as they say<br>

We appear to be comparing apples with oranges when we compare 2m
tx
ONLY trackers with other styles of equipment, for any band, that
at
least has a receiver and at least makes some attempt to prevent
transmission at inappropriate times.<br>
<br>
You don't have to be real smart to realise that a system that <b>cannot</b>
listen doesn't comply with the Australian LCD.<br>
<br>
I have a TT3+ and a GPS from the same supplier - about $100
Australian.
They are married to a Tait T500 that cost nothing because it has
zero
commercial value. The aprs mobile has;<br>
1. a tracker and GPS<br>
2. a receiver with the busy line connected to the TT3+ to ensure
no tx
when the channel is busy.<br>
<br>
It's small, light, cheap and conforms with the LCD. There are many
equally cheap options available.<br>

you are ! .. My TT3 on HF wont TX when the squelch is open'ed

the
absolute best solution, but certainly seems to do the job in my
