[aprssig] New TH-D72 tips?

[MJ Inabnit]

Bob!

You better put the toys away and go outside!  heeheee

BTW, thanks for all the reports on the new APRS rig.  I'm still learning 
all the FT-350 stuff (neat!) but will recommend the Kenwood over the 
Yaesu for folks looking for HT GPS/APRS.

Thanks again, 73

This is a whole new dimension of capabiltiy I have not yet fully explored.  Wouldnt it be neat if someday this can be used to transmit an object!
