Ham Radio and APRS

[Scott Olitsky]

I use the Kenwood TH-D7 with a small amplifier to run 35 watts out. My Garmin Etrex broke last year so I will run the foretrex unit that I recently bought. It is a great way to run into other hams when traveling. I was able to see activity on a cross country trip and also on a sailing trip once. It saves the trouble of calling on the national simplex frequency at regular intervals. If you happen to be down the road from someone running APRS, you will know they are there.
