'D' is the correct answer. Many exam questions are not all inclusive. They
are simply testing to see if the exam taker knows what componets are used
in the average APRS installation. Perhaps the VEC's could have worded it
differently but they didn't and you still got it right.

<p>A. A connection to the vehicle speedometer

<br>C. A connection to a broadcast FM sub-carrier receiver
<br>D. A global positioning system receiver
<p>I understand that D is probably the best answer, but is D really a correct
answer? My station at home is automatically set to send a location
report every 30 minutes and I don't use a GPS receiver with it. I
just input the lat/long coordinates in my UI-View32 setup menu. My
D-STAR gateway also transmits its position every 20 minutes in the D-STAR
low-speed digital mode without being connected to a GPS receiver.
