The new Kenwood TM-D700E Data Communicator. We call it an APRS
                       transceiver built for tomorrow's communications needs with advanced
                       features available today. With it's extra large amber and black display,
                       the new TM-D700E is fully equipped to make the most of the exciting
                       opportunities offered by SSTV, GPS and APRS - the Automatic
                       Packet/Position Reporting System that is rapidly gaining popularity
                       worldwide. This mobile transceiver with built-in TNC offers a wide
                       range of data communications options, including simple packet using
                       the AX.25 protocol. You can also send and receive SSTV images using
                       Kenwood's VC-H1. Ham radio is truly entering a new era.

 APRS (Automatic Packet/Position Reporting System) features
 Positional/ directional data. With an NMEA-0183 compatible GPS receiver you can transmit
 position data for automatic calculation of distance, current speed and heading. Last 4 digits can
 be masked for position ambiguity. Manual input of latitude/longitude is also possible.
 Versatile messaging. Transmission of position data can be accompanied by a choice of
 programmable text (8 settings), position comments (up to 28 characters), icons and bulletins. For
 added messaging flexibility, individual alpha messages (up to 64 characters) can also be sent.
 Station list. Store received APRS data in up to 40 station reports.
