</head><BODY BGCOLOR="#F8F8F8" ><div><SPAN style="font-size:11pt;">Any chance that mic/GPS can be altered to work with the Kenwood HT? I have been tempted to tape my eTrex to the speaker-mic, but it is a little too heavy to be workable. (Without the display and battery it probably would though.)<br /> -- 73 --<br /> J.

The VX8R displays all of a station's information on one virtual page of 8 lines and you scroll the 4-high window up and down that page to see all the data. The D7 displays the different aspecs of information for a station on multiple 3-line pages of info.</SPAN></div>
