   Only if you want to POSIT and have no messaging capabilities. Nothing
like sending a message to a ham taveling through your down only to realize
that he is using a Tinytrak or one of the variants and can't
"talk" to anyone. I'm not slamming them (I have one of scott's
opentrackers) just that the KPC3/+ is a useful tool for messaging.

  Just my 2 cents...
