Nor was I. I have no Kenwood APRS radios, although I'm currently
using a Kenwood 2M radio as my APRS rig.

I believe I may have been the source of the numbers, quite a while
back. Here are the current numbers, just for reference:
2005/09/06 17:01:59 1126026119 1945 482 0 132 206 87 6 4 20 1 171 595 372 69 256 574 335 322 77 2 25 3936
And here are the variables passed to the Perl printf() function:
$y,
$m,
$d,
$h,
$min,
$s,
time,
$uiview,
$winaprs,
$aprsscs,
$aprsplus,
$xastir,
$dosaprs,
$aprsce,
$pocketaprs,
$macaprs,
$aprspoint,
$aprsd,
$network,
$uidigi,
$digined,
$experimental,
$kenwood,
$mice,
$tinytrak,
$nmea,
$hamhud,
$opentracker,
$other;
Those numbers were a summary over a 1-hour time period, snagged
directly off the inet feeds, sorted by callsign-ssid. I see 574
Kenwoods counted, 335 Mic-E, 322 TinyTrak's (that weren't in Mice-E
mode), 77 NMEA trackers, 2 hamhuds, 25 OpenTrackers that were in
APRS mode.
There's no way to tell whether some of the Mic-E units were
Kenwoods. Kenwood got the packet type character wrong for a while,
so newer Kenwoods may not be distinguishable from other Mic-E
transmissions now. Those familiar with Kenwoods know more about
this than I do.
