There are some really nice rigs out there, depending on what bands you
want to use.
For APRS -- yes, the Kenwood and Alinco rigs with everything but the
GPS built in are nice, but if you get a Kantronics KPC-3+ (TNC) (what? Maybe
$200 now?) and go to eBay and find a good, used GE Delta or Phoenix, you can
have them re-programmed and aligned for 144.39 for usually less than $75.,
making the whole setup a bit less money than a new rig.
I have a Delta under the bunk in the 18-wheeler I drive, and it works
