[aprssig] D700A still relevant

[Ian]

A little prone to intermod if you live in an area where there are paging
transmitters but a Par notch filter takes care of that.  Great radio.

I echo the sentiment of the others, including this one above..

The D700 is the best implementation for APRS short of probably a 
laptop.  The D700 just works and it takes up a relatively small 
amount of space.  With all its quirks, it's still definitely 
something that I haven't regretted owning for a minute.  It's a 
decent 2m/440 rig as well, certainly better than any general 2m rig 
and a TT or Opentracker.
