Jeff, I am going to assume you have a Garmin Rhino 530. It will work with a D700 but you need the USB to serial cable, Garmin part number: 010-10572-00. You...

There's a CQSRVR service which maintains "groups" of people with APRS messaging that are interested in answering CQs. When you send a message to a specific CQ...
I haven't installed this in my car, yet, but I put together a Nuvi 350 with the Tracker 2 and it worked right out of the box(es). It was about 10 minutes from...
I have been running a 350 and OT2 for several months. I HIGHLY recommend the combination. That is unless you can afford the Kenwood and the matching large...
Randy, Charley NW0X told me about your setup. I am real impressed by the Nuvi350. Gonna have to get one. Any problems with the initial setup? Steve kc0rey ... ...
Hi Steve, Funny bumping into you here! No problems with setup at all. Plug and play as I remember. It is so sweet to be able to "see" the stations around you...
I usually take the laptop with me when I go mobile and run UIview. I've been wanting to change my setup here. I have a great (and old) 2M handheld I think I am...
See: http://www.all-pelican-cases-4-less.com/detail_pelican_1430.html somewhere in my "favorites" I have another link to a web that has what I remember as...
Steve, Thanks for the link, but I already get most of my Pelican cases from that cases4less site. You can get them pretty cheap compared to other places if...

The specs do not show the Nuvi 200 as being capable of outputing any GPS data through the mini USB port, either GARMIN or NMEA, so you are out of luck for APRS...

Paulus, That looks like a pretty nice marine navigation system, but I am looking specifically for a handheld unit. (For a dash-top, I would use the Avmap G5,...
The Colorado and Oregon series have NMEA, but only if you get the (kind of pricey) cable. It's got a big voltage regulator / RS-232 transceiver lump inline....
Scott, I was looking at the Garmin website and they mentioned that it supported this, but I did not see the USB conversion widget. They seem like pretty nice...

My favorite is the Rino 530HCx. Like the Colorado, Oregon, and Dakota series, it needs a special cable (though different from the one used for those three...
Allen, Remove the bracket and a 276c becomes a handheld unit ;) With 6 hrs battery life to boot. This unit has 2 modes: automobile or marine. Another plus...
Paulus, I will take a second look at that unit. I am not sure that a 6 hour life span would be sufficient. My reason for asking about a handheld, is that I...
