Re: [amsat-bb] APRS Messaging QSOs (aux keyboard)

What I wish APRS radio manufacturers would do is add parsing on the GPS port for messages from an external keyboard. Then let hams build the external keyboard.

The GPS parser is looking for GPXXX strings and could eequlaly well look for APMSG... And the external keyboard could generate the APMSG..... message. Would seem to be a trivial ask...

Alas, no longer available.

Here is something I used to use to type in messages while mobile with my D-700 years ago. It worked great for typing in APRS messages in the Kenwood radios...

I wonder if it is still available, what do you think John?
