Now if you want a GPS that can do more than display waypoints of
stations, I'd recommend the Garmin 60Cx or CSx. You could then add road
navigation software and have turn-by-turn capabilities while running
APRS at the same time. Or you could load it with free topos off the web
and still see the locations of other stations on the map. These two
units are fantastic, reception is excellent, visibility is great and
prices are falling. You can also get the power with the Kenwood data
cord and then use the cigar lighter plug and save on batteries. The
60C(S)x will work even in the console of your car! Now if you wanted
just something to beacon your position, then the advice you already got
is the cheaper way to go.<br>
<br>
Antenna: I recommend connecting the D7 to a small 1/4 wave mag mount
antenna. Your signal will get further and reach more digis, than any HT
antenna in a Faraday cage, meaning your car.<br>

<pre wrap="">Garmin Foretrex 201 is awesome if you want something small and portable. I
put it on my wrist, made a long cable with 1/32" conncetors on both ends.
Just make sure to get the 201 which is rechargeable or if you get the 101 be
prepared with extra batteries.
This is on Ebay usually under $100. It is great when I bike, jog or walk
around ham fests.
Now if you don't want it that portable, then pickup a simple E-trex from
Garmin and just toss it in the dash. I believe RPC Electronics has the
cables for that to the d7a directly. I use a Garmin Vista in this capacity.
Note, these two will give you waypoints on them of other stations, but not
mapping capabilities.

summer and would like to use the the D7A to beacon my position during
