Hi All,
Quick question for the VX-8r experts out there...
I have read on another site that in order to have the APRS available on this radio you need to purchase the speaker mic and plug the GPS module in. I was under the impression you could buy the GPS antenna and plug into the radio directly via the appropriate converter thus negating the need to purchase a speaker mic that I rarely use. I am correct??
Secondly, will this radio send APRS data whilst monitoring another 2M frequency? Say send APRS data to the Digipeater on one frequency and allow me to monitor the local repeater traffic on another?
I haven't yet purchased one of these HT's but I am swaying towards one...
Thanks in advance and 73's, Duncan - VK6GHZ (Perth, West Australia)
