I think he was referring the Amateur Radio National Traffic System (NTS)
message format.

Subject: Anybody used the Alinco DR-135TP for APRS?

Hello group,
A friend asked me today about using the Alinco DR-135TP for mobile APRS.
Has anybody tried this yet? I haven't heard mention of it. He said AES has
a great price on them. I know when you combine things there are always
drawbacks. Ex: the Kenwood 700 is a bear to upgrade the firmware and I hear
it don't follow all the protocols to the letter.
Without any feedback I am one to take the safe, tried and true path. I
use a separate 2m rig with a KPC3+ and a laptop. He is trying to cut down
on costs.
Any and all comments welcome.
Thanks, Shanon KA8SPW

Will other forms of straight packet comms handle this problem? Use a
terminal program such as paKet or Wes's program or other terminal program?
It has already been said below...use a packet bbs or mailbox drop on a TNC
and don't reinvent the wheel.?

The Alinco uses the same TASCO "TNC-on-a-chip" as the Kenwood D700 and THD7
but it lacks the extensive APRS-specific firmware present in the Kenwoods
that allows a full-featured APRS terminal using just the radio. Without a
computer attached, the unit acts as basically a dumb tracker, transmitting
GPS strings from the attached GPS, but unable to send, receive or display
messages or information about other stations heard.
When a PC -IS- attached to the Alinco's serial port, it will act just about
the same as the Kenwoods (the INIT files in some APRS apps are even about the
same for all three).
