Re: [aprssig] New HT VX8-R from YAESU has APRS
support!!!<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I was able to touch it (Late Sunday morning at
Dayton) but not allowed to push buttons. The battery was dead on it
anyway. I think APRS is an add on option to the radio. Hopefully
it isn't a $200 option like most "digital" options are now-a-days.<BR><BR>73
