See Lynn's valid comments if you are want to connect an APRS client to the TNC, although you could add an external TNC, but the D710 would avoid that.<br>

However, if the radio will be used "stand-alone" the FTM-400D is a very nice radio to use, both for voice and for APRS. The touch sensitive colour screen sets it apart from anything else that is out there, plus it also does digital C4FM FDMA, with a growing number of DR-1 repeaters installed around the continent and around the world.<br>
