the radio looks interesting but without a 2m radio how could it reasonably be an APRS igate? I realize you can run APRS on many frequencies but it's not much use running an igate when no one is using your frequency. I'm asking because APRS is listed on the flyer.
The main reason I'd buy one of these radios today is to use as a home digipeater and iGate for our 96UHF alternate APRS network. UHF and 9600 is plug and play with the Kenwood mobiles but doing 9k6 is a pain with any other setup.
All you need to make an APRS alt channel is one (preferably two) IGate on any other frequency. The hard part is getting folks to actually make use of it. (9k6 is a disadvantage here too but that's another discussion...)
