Hi! I'm a new guy here. Found the site after googling Soundcard Based APRS. Looks like a good one.
Currently running a Kenwood TM-D700A here in the shack as kc0rey-1.
I drive for a local car dealership part time and on my longer trips I haul the Kenwood out to the car I am driving and set it up as kc0rey-9.
My future plans are to set up a dedicated radio here in the shack and use the Kenwood in my Pick-up.
I am having terrible luck though. I have the rig, I have the computer but I have purchased 3 non-working TNCs (money is tight and I am buying used, as is TNCs) one, a PAckrat 232 was toast because somebody installed 3 AA batteries that leaked on the board.
So, now I am looking at sound card based APRS for the shack and plan to get one of the TinyTracker type setups for an old Alinco 2M hand held I have for my roadtrips.
That's me and where I am at now. I look forward to receiving a boat load of help from y'all and plan on helping where I can.
73,
