Not sure what you are saying here Bob. Are you talking about Kenwood? And
are you saying they have washed their hands of APRS and will not upgrade
their radios any further?
10,000 is a big number, and 10,000 angry hams calling customer support
might motivate them not to abandon their customers.
It really does seem ashame ham radio has dropped so far that a vendor is
holding back progress. Maybe we should organize a protest at their booth in
Dayton this year?

Anybody remember what that Icom mobile van was called a few years
ago? The one that toured the country giving out door prizes and stuff...
Thanks,
Earl
I think it was called the 'Fun Mobile'
