Hi there, since I get my VX8 with the whole gps-aprs set up, I start loving APRS, only problem in my home town Redlands CA 92373, I have no coverage at all, I get coverage in near by towns like San Bernardino CA.
So I decide to set up my own APRS Digi, I just purchase a VHF DATA RADIO MFJ-8621A, wich is set up crystal to 144.390 and also I purchase a TNC PK-96-100.
What I like to accomplish is to set up this two units as a stand alone APRS DIGI, with is own 2 meter antenna and power by a 13.8V battery backed up power supply.
I like to have some help on how to set up this, the TNC - RADIO is very straigh both have the same type of connectors, so this will be no problem, but the parameters set up at the TNC probably will be a little more complicated, so if any of you can help me to get my town into the APRS map, I would appreciate it.

TNX DAN, KF6NPL

I do not know if this is still an active question but if it is and you have not posted this on the APRS Yahoo Groups forum, I recommend you try it. I am a newbie also and I have found that site very helpful.

73 and good luck, Joe
