Motorola makes a 220 mobile (CDM1550) and portable radio (HT1250).
Currently they are only type accepted for the commercial radio
frequencies (216-222). They will go up to 225 with the right software
tweaks.

The catalog sheets don't show it yet, but 216-222 MHz versions are
shipping now.

>Does the Deluo line of GPS recievers work well on 12 volts?
Yes - for probably about 30 seconds, which is just about enough time
to unleash the magic smoke. It's spec'ed for 3.8 to 8V.
Check http://www.pocketaprs.com/gps.html for a complete discussion on
the Deluo.

Yup, Mike has it right - got the answer from the guy here in town that
uses 'em:
>Needs to be regulated, the Pocket APRS site says 3.8 to 8.0 volts.
>http://www.pocketaprs.com/gps.html
He even references the same site.
Thanks Mike!

Garmin didn't change something, Kenwood missed to beware of the new version
of NMEA-standard. And as a manufacturer of GPS-units Garmin would be stupid
not to increase functionality gained with this standard.
Kenwood also enabled DAMA-mode (very common for German PR-digis gains better
throughput) in this new firmwareand corrected misbehaving KISS-mode (BUG).
AFAIk it's 2.0(G). I bought my D700E last year and 4 weeks later they
announced the new version and had no chance to get it for free. I would
accept costs for a hardware-upgrade but not for a few-minute-flash-load.
Waiting for the first to offer the upgrade as a file. In cicuit programming
(as I think is what will be done) is no secret...
