[Xastir] Off Topic -- I got my Ticket!

[Brian Webster]

Jim,
	For an inexpensive setup I would suggest a sound card interface and radio.
If you go to www.argentdata.com (This is the guy who makes the opentrac) you
can find a brand new 2 meter HT for $90. He also has all of the interface
cables as well. His OT2 is also a KISS capable TNC if you don't want to do
the sound card thing. He has discovered that the Garmin Nuvi series vehicle
navigation GPS's will work with his trackers in the Garmin protocol. It uses
the Garmin Fleet tracking interface. It has full map display of APRS on air
traffic and limited messaging through the GPS.



Thank You,
Brian N2KGC

Hi, All...........

I had to tell someone!  I am KC9MXT as of yesterday 8-)

Now I can legally move forward with a system of Xastir and trackers for
the SAR we are organizing.

Any suggestions of good used equipment sites for my home setup would be
appreciated as well as your thoughts on good reading material and the
minimum set of gear.   I need something to justify expenditures to the
CFO (da wife :-) ).   I have the ticket -- now I need some practical
knowledge.  I recognize, I don't know hardly anything.

Happy Days... even if it was -20F here in the northwoods this morning!!

Later.......... jt
