Depends on what you want to do with APRS.  Do you want to be able to 
send messages from your radio without having to hook up a computer?  In 
that case, you should go with the D700.  If you only want a "dumb" 
tracker, per se, to track your position on findU or some other service 
or software package, then use an old 2m rig and an OpenTracker.  -73
