Hello Operators.
Recently, I've quietly tested an exciting device in the background. It's a multi-role device capable of acting as a KISS mode TNC. With its built-in GPS, It can function as an RPR (Robust Packet) HF APRS TNC or stand-alone HF APRS Tracker. Before you ask, yes, it is already acting as an HF APRS TNC in KISS mode with APRSDroid on Android. It is also a Robust Packet TNC for Winlink sessions with the latest PAT Winlink and Winlink Express.

The incredible thing about this device is it is multi-platform. So far, I've tested on Android, Linux, & Windows, HF APRS, RPR Packet Radio, and as a stand-alone Tracker.
As KO4LLC recently said, "The best preparation is to have multiple plans". This device embraces that notion by giving us multiple options, on multiple platforms. communications options, independent of the operating system,  on a single-pocket portable device.
