An official feature request has been made of the Gaia GPS app to integrate APRSdroid info. If you go to this and vote and comment, they will see the value of integration. It would be great to have the integration and if nothing else it will foster more interest and use by hams. With more...

This is working wonderfully as well. I am really liking it. I need to put in the ISS freq.

You're welcome, happy to share info with others. I have a dual band Icom 2730. I actually wanted this separate so i can retain use of both receivers in the Icom.

Ended up building this with a Radio Shack HTX 212, works great. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/189260-Dedicated-APRS-Mobile-With-a-Radio-Shack-HTX-212

I just made a thread with info on it. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/189260-Dedicated-APRS-Mobile-With-a-Radio-Shack-HTX-212

I ended up with using a Radio Shack HTX 212, which I got inexpensively (unfortunately the seller forgot to tell me that the power button doesnt work. it can not be turned off by the button). I have it powered through a relay that is connected to my auxiliary battery. The relay is triggered by a...

I went with an Icom 2730 and then built a separate dedicated APRS mobile with TNC/modem that bluetooths to a tablet or phone running aprsdroid. This way I dont lose one whole receiver on my 2730 dual band to APRS, and I can remove the TNC/Modem and attach it to an HT and even use it on foot, if...

Mine just arrived, along with their Evidence Bag to carry it. Both are sewn by Blue Ridge Overland Gear now. The Deadman Earth Anchor looks extremely well made, and seems like it will be extraordinarily versatile. After having it in my hands at the Overland Expo West last May, I knew it...

Oh, awesome ! I am running CS-2730 in Wine, but having CHIRP would be so much easier.

Love my 2730. It has cross band repeat function, lighted buttons, decent screen size. I have had excellent reports from people I have chatted with while using it. Great price point for a dual band. I made my own mounting, so that was a non issue for me. (I did have to buy 100 of the M2.6 x 6...

i havent found the high speed SD cards to be slow at all

Yes, shopping includes looking beyond one source.

Love that color. Not sure where you are at, but I have a near mint set of second row seats in NC that are available. They are gray.

No, you didnt read it wrong. that is the correct product. There is also the listing for the one with the manual control for $191. I have noticed some people dont shop.

Another dual sensing automatic charging relay option is the Samlex 160. http://www.samlexamerica.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=478 This has the option of a manual switch (user supplied, $5 + some wire) control. I even found mine on an Amazon Warehouse open box deal. Been running it...

thanks. my APRS antenna will be on the roof, towards the rear. 2m/70cm voice is on front bumper I am looking in to whether the Radio Shack HTX 212 could be a viable option for my APRS radio. The advantage would be it is easily programmable. If I can find one for up to $40 more than the...

Any issues with desensing your other 2m mobile (assuming you have one, maybe you dont)? I have had some people bring this concern up. I definitely dont want to damage my 2m/70cm mobile (an Icom 2730A)

yep, or run a windows based program under Wine. I believe the mobilinkD can do packets to a linux machine.

this will be a linux laptop. havent used windows in about 10 years. and that is why I'd love gaia gps to integrate aprsdroid.

Ok, thanks for your thoughts. I am thinking I could bluetooth this to a laptop/netbook that has an APRS client that uses KISS TNC protocol too.
