Evening all. Not to go off topic, but I wonder if any HAMs out there might have a portable/mobile APRS system that I could arrange to meet with?<br><br> I am trying (without much success) to get a good portable (hiking) APRS system going for use mostly for our recreation hikes but also to be used for SAR missions.
<br><br>Any information would be great. I am looking at a Kenwood TH-D7AG but I cannot afford one at this time. I have volunteered along with Elmosmelmo to assist with this years 24hour in the old pueblo ride and I thought this would be a great time to break out a unit.
<br><br> I have access to an older tinytrak, but I cannot get a cable for the Yeasu VX-7R that I own and the fact I need the radio to be a radio not a beacon :)<br><br> Anyways, if you have built or know of a portable APRS system, that would not take food from the mouths of my kids, can you contact me?
<br><br>Thanks<br><br>-Dirk / ShadowAce / KE7GKF<br>
