<div class="moz-cite-prefix">That may be true (I can't confirm or
deny, not owning a VX8), but NMEA isn't APRS. You might get
posits and most or all of the comment, but many times the symbol
is changed. And other APRS data simply doesn't have an NMEA
equivalent. And NMEA might display on a suitably featured GPS,
but APRS clients will be expecting full APRS packets.<br>

<div>If I'm not entirely mistaken, the VX-8G will output standard
NMEA waypoints on it's serial jack if you configure the radio to
do so.</div>
