Actually they DO sell the display head/TNC/APRS terminal separately for
about half the price of the radio. Think of it as a commercially-built
Ham Hud. You can "upgrade" a TM-71 to a D710 (RF chassis is
identical), or with any other radio where the RF control functions are
lost but the APRS functions remain.
