1)   It's totally software-based.  It combines a APRS client, a TCP/IP 
interface with bi-directional messaging interface, and a PSK63/GMSK sound card 
driver in a single barely 2MB installed package.  No TNC required.   The 
program has a second IP port that can connect it to an APRS mapping application 
like APRSpoint or UI-View if desired.

2)   It uses HF so it can be used in really remote areas with no 2M 
infrastructure at all, to gain access to the APRS-IS.

3)   The PSK63 and/or GMSK modulation schemes are vastly superior and better 
suited to the vagaries of HF propagation, compared to conventional 300 baud FSK 
packet traditionally used on HF.
