I'm using my old KPC-3 for APRS. I think the newer ROM versions have some
advanced features, but for general APRS use it should work fine.

Subject: Feed your log with Internet DX Spots!
Hello ALL,
This is IK4VYX, Fabrizio, the developer of the
DXTelnet software package:
-----------------------------------
http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm
-----------------------------------
One of the things you can do with DXTelnet is to
connect simultaneously to many different kinds of
DX resources (telnet, http, IRC, RF) and, why not,
feed ANY log with the Internet DX spots received by
DXTelnet.
The format of the spots is the classic one (DX de ...)
so your log will not detect any difference.
The way how to do this mainly depends on the kind
of log you use (if it is Windows or DOS based)
and on the available system resources (if you have
only one or more serial ports, and if you plan to link
DXTelnet to your log using a single or separate PCs.
In any case, the minimum requirements are:
* A Windows PC connected to Internet
(All windows family is OK, except NT and 2000;
I don't know about Win ME)
* At least 1 free serial port
* The log must support a serial port connection
(for example a TNC port).
I made several experiments and I was able to feed
successfully dumb terminal applications such as
Hyperterminal (Windows) or Telix (DOS), this on a
single PC using just one (I repeat: JUST ONE)
serial port!!!
Note: even if your log already embeds a telnet client
to reach Internet DX clusters, using it combined
with DXTelnet is recommended: DXTelnet will bring
in more spots; if you dont believe my words just
download DXTelnet (see the above URL), install it
and connect to the CQDX-IRC node.
Moreover DXTelnet has DX Spot specific filters so
that you can choose which spots to feed and which
to ignore.
Just an example: a very useful filter is the
"Reject Old Spots" one; this, combined with
the antidupe filter, allows you to kill the spurious
DX spots sometimes originated by huge cluster loops,
especially during major contests.
As the link method depends on the log and on the
system you use, I will not spend pages here describing
all the different cases.
Just email me telling me which of these cases you
fall in:
A) DOS Log single port
B) DOS Log double port (or double PC)
C) Windows Log single port
D) Windows Log double port (or double PC)
I will be glad to email you a step by step describing
how to proceed in order to setup a link with immediate
benefits.

Dear Tom
You should try to live in Sweden, before you talk about taxes. :(
