Only if you're running in APRS mode. In "TNC" mode the TXD is adjustable.
You also get KPC3+ or better digipeater controls in TNC mode. In "APRS"
mode you only have 4 simple aliases for digipeating.
This one little D700 on a hilltop has sure opened up the 9600 baud network
in the Puget Sound region.
We still have yet to test what happens if a nice long, 250+ bytes, packet
is thrown at it.
