Anyone using APRS?

Brian,

I can't help with all of that hardware, but I did do something similar with a TT4 and some custom wiring for that GPS. I wrote it up on my blog . Since I wrote that article, I've decided to add a 12vdc to 5vdc ruggedized hard mount power supply and a serial to bluetooth adapter to the system. This will provide me with 100% bluetooth connectivity for both the GPS input and the APRS input/output (GPS and APRS are actually the same COM port in my setup). This whole approach is much more complicated to setup, but will remove all visible wires except 1 power cord to the tablet.

Craig, I think it was one of your posts that led me to the bluetooth adapter. Sounds like it will make for a very clean install.
