[FARC] OpenTracker+

[Joseph M. Durnal]

I'm really looking for the least expensive option that can support two
way APRS.  I've borrowed an OpenTracker+ now, I want to see if the
kiss mode on that unit will really let you use at on an APRS fixed
station with UIVIEW, XASTIR or other APRS software.

  The tracker2 is nice though, it is defenately a full featured APRS
TNC, even better than the one inside of the D710 if you ask me, I
especially like the Alinco/Tracker2 combo!
