: All the above mentioned TNCs are computerized. Doug,k3qt s/v Callista 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. Doug, k3qt s/v CAllista "Larry W4CSC" wrote in message ...

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.
