[amsat-bb] Re: GPS for dx-expedition

So, I'll pose my question along the same premise: Is there a 'ebay'/used/or ?? other unit that will give us a grid position that one can put on a qsl card?

The Kenwood D7 APRS HT and D700 and D710 mobiles display gridsquare directly (assuming a GPS is plugged into it. The new D72 coming out in the next month or so has the GPS built in, making for a trivial package to carry.

I had assumed that the Yaesu VX-8R, DR, and GR APRS HT's also read out directly the grid square? But your next sentence seems to imply otherwise.. Hummh...

... I was only stating that about the VX-8GR as a reason why I don't use that device for establishing my location when working on grid boundaries etc.
