I decided to learn more about APRS, specifically I wanted to find a low-cost way to add APRS fuctionality to my HT.  I looked at APRSdroid and installed that on my phone.  I was able to record the AFSK output from the phone to my computer.  I need a special audio cable, though, in order to transmit the info using my HT.  I am starting to see a trend:  For every 1 radio you own, you are going to need 5 or more cables!  Anyway, probably good that I don't have the cable since I don't really know how I will use APRS.
