[aprssig] Inexpensive APRS transmitter kit

[Scott Miller]

I've got a few examples of a tracker board I build specifically for 
balloon use, but I'm out of MX146LV transmitters now.  Here's a little 
bit on the unit:

I've got another board revision on the way that's smaller, runs on a 9V 
battery, and will have support for a small camera for SSTV.

Right now the only problem is the availability of the MX146LV.  SRB was 
having some production problems last time I checked.
