This is drifting seriously off-topic, but I would hate to leave someone trying to decide which D-Star radio to purchase with the erroneous impression that jury-rigging a Kenwoood D710 APRS DISPLAY HEAD ($324 GigaParts current out-of-stock sale price) would provide the IC-2820 a complete APRS setup in addition to a complete D-Star setup. You would also need to purchase a second GPS for the D710 to be able to TRANSMIT your position to APRS. The D710 does not contain a GPS, and there is no way to feed the output of the IC-2820 internal GPS to the D710 or any external accessory. 73 -- John
