[aprssig] TM-D710

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

I looked into various auto-off options and decided that I wanted the 
GPS, the TNC (I don't run a D710 yet), and the radio to all go down 
after a fixed timer as well as if the power goes low.  I ended up 
installing an APO-3 in both of my tracked vehicles (KJ4ERJ-9 and KJ4OVQ-9).

the APO-3, just a satisfied consumer
