<div>Things that I see in the manual.....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Bluetooth has PTT or VOX. I'm not clear if you use the little button on the headset for PTT or if you can use the mic jack PTT, but in any case, VOX will probably suit my motorcycle needs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>APRS:</div>
<div>
<div>proportional pathing</div>
<div>decay beacon for stopped vehicle</div></div>
<div>smart beacon. Seems to have 3 canned settings for various speeds/situations. You can adjust each of the canned settings.</div>
<div>canned messages</div>
<div>canned paths</div>
<div>tx of other side of radio frequency/squelch code.</div>
<div>1200/9600 operation (can we use the TNC as a TNC with a PC too??? found it, YES)</div>
<div>100ms to 1000ms txdelay for TNC</div>
<div>GPS output on com port (does it send nmea waypoint data???)</div>
<div>sort stations on screen by call,time or dx</div>
<div>filter stations on screen by type or message/posit.</div>
<div>clones over the air</div>
<div>has an 8 pin minidin that consolidates PC De-9 and the mini-6 packet (external tnc) audio interface. It has a funky y cable to allow use of both functions, the connector is a FEMALE 9 wired to plug right in to a PC... YAY... just in time for my laptop to not have a serial port :-/</div>
<div>I can't confirm this, but it looks like you could connect an external TNC to one side of the radio and use the internal TNC for the other side.</div>
<div>not sure about the make of internal TNC... what is the max buffer size?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The "deal breaker" I can't find is the GPS out function. Very little said about GPS OUT... I'm forced to assume that since this unit has an optional internal GPS that it's data would be the GPS out - the normal NMEA lat/lon stuff. I can't find any ref to outputting waypoints... you know the usual language about 6 or 9 character callsign lengths and such. I sure hope this feature isn't missing.</div>

<div>I'm downloading the manual. Looks like it uses bluetoof, does anyone know if it will accept audio from bluetooth source and use the PTT on the mic? My reason: I have an excellent motorcycle bluetooth helmet - great noise cancelling. I can run a PTT switch on the handlebars to trip off PTT, but need the audio to come from the headset.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Looks like it does smart beaconing, 2m,1.25m and 70cm tx. Also of interest is the stereo line input... in my car I could pipe in the aduio from my nuvi GPS and then on out to the car stereo... reading about that now.</div>
