<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Thx for info on the battery pack. I have 2 D7’s, one mobile
in a RAM bracket c/w Pryme speaker mic and the other I use as a portable. I
have to use a D7 for a mobile due to Subaru’s lack of consideration for a
mounting place for a D700 control head. A Mirage BD-35 add’s some
power when necessary.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I just wanted an idea on the quality, etc., of the product as I want a
spare pack for times when there is no opportunity to recharge, etc. Kenwood’s
4 cell case dosen’t do much more for me than fill the RAM bracket so I
don’t constantly charge a NiCad in the cradle. High capacity cells
will be a good back-up.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Has anyone ever used APRS to identify a visitor to your local area,
generate an automatic msg to the APRS unit welcoming them to your area
(entering a preset parimeter) and refer them to your primary voice repeater?
We have also thought of then, after a reasonable delay for the operator to tune
to the repeater, running text to speech to welcome the visitor to the area and
state some of the control commands (WX, Echo & IRLP dialing codes, etc.)
for the repeater, our website (lcarc.ca) and other useful bits of info.</span></font></p>

project and with what success?</span></font></p>
