Version 1.2.5 is released. It can be downloaded from http:// 
homepage.mac.com/kd6cji file to download: TH-D7-APRS-X-v1.2.5.dmg

What is TH-D7-APRS-X anyway?

This is an APRS mapping program that is designed to work with Kenwood  
TH-D7 hand held or (possibly) Kenwood TM-D700 mobile radio. It is not  
a general APRS program in a sense that it does not parse actual aprs  
packets but relies on radio's aprs engine to do so. That is the  
reason that it will not work with other radios or TNCs or whatever.  
May be in future someday, but than again there is APRS software that  
already exists to do so.

What is new in this version:

1. Changes in user interface
2. Option to toggle between metric and US units in settings
3. Option to display lat/lon grid on the map in settings
4. Option to plot fixed stations communication range (if available in  
APRS message) on the map in settings.
5. Support for non G version of TH-D7 (A and E). Select this option  
in settings.

Ther is also Log/Save menu in this version, but it is not activated  
yet. So, it will do nothing right now.

Have fun,

Sergei, KD6CJI
