Quoting Jason Winningham <jdw at eng.uah.edu>:

Yes, Jason, that's the answer I'm coming around to also. I might eliminate the
D700 altogether and go with a dedicated radio/tracker combination. But, either
way, feeding the radio's RX audio to a sound card interface on a computer
running an APRS client sounds like a good solution. I'll also have to
split the
GPS data so the non-APRS mapping program has position data.
Thanks to all for your input!
