I started writing a quick little hack that would let you write APRS
messages on your Newton to be sent via the Kenwood TH-D7 (handheld with
packet)
Basically, the kenwood lets you pretend that you've typed a message in on
its keypad vai the serial port.
This means that you don't need to keep your Newton plugged in for an
extended period when you're working with it. THe primary propblem is a
physical one. The cabling isn't very nice. I already broke one
interconnector port off, and am really not interested in it happening
again. A dual serial port dongle that firmly attached to the Newton would
solve the problem. Or, in fact, an SER-001.
If there is interest in this app, I can finish it up and make it usable.
Again, it only works if you have a Kenwood TH-D7 or TM-D700 (car version)
gopi.
