Just so noone gets too confused, after you have your APRS TNC up and
running, you no longer need to have the computer terminal program connected
to it to RUN its internal APRS-activated firmware. You plug the GPS data
straight into the modem's serial port for constant RMC statement updates
and it regularly transmits its ARPS broadcast packets on the HF and VHF
transmitters connected to it.....

Just to verify Larry, the KAM Plus can be set up to automatically
send you position. No computer is required once it is set up. I used
mine in VHF for quite a while like this.

Gee....I've never been "verified", before. ...(c;

Is this like verifying a DVD+R?

=====================================

Any idea if the SCS PTC-II can do the same thing, i.e., broadcast APRS
position reports without an attached computer?

I don't beleive so. It has provision for GPS input but nothing for
APRS. If you are using Winlink then it has a very nice position reporting
feature, but only reports when you connect. The PTC-IIe manual is
pretty thick but makes no mention of APRS.
