[aprssig] HF APRS Transceiver

[Amateur Radio WB8NUT]

Eric,

The MFJ Cub transceivers are CW only. You would need a transceiver 
capable of sideband phone transmissions. Then you need it to be stable 
on frequency. It would be impractical to make that little CW transceiver 
into a phone transceiver it not impossible. Even if you could do it, the 
darn thing drifts too much to be of any use with APRS. You need a real 
ground up phone transmitter that is VERY stable.
