With a way of avoiding added expense, I have offered time and time again
the gear I have. Unless the issue is being avoided due to the type of
equipment?
I have also bought a 4G LTE wired device that I will be testing with my
APRS setup, if it works as mentioned I will add it to my cell plan, if it
does not work I will continue to keep it and use it with my openspot RF
mobile with DMR.
