I understand completely. You assume that all mobile operators use
radios with controls at their fingertips. This is not the case for many
mobile APRS stations including myself. My APRS radio (and controls)
is in the trunk and my APRS display is a GPS (Nuvi 350).

while driving. <br>

Next update is Nuvi 350 (already have). Hoping to get the cable

Not all (some 30%?) have APRS display mobiles at their

By the way, trying not to be a luddite, I had a chance to test /
use a VX8R handheld for about 2 months. Wow. Great to have all
that info in such a small package. It would make a terrible
thing to use mobile, though. It also lacks diagnostics - can't
see the path of incoming pakets, is one failing. <br>
