[aprssig] Need a KPC-3 Plus

Sure.  It's got one LM335 on the board and will report that temperature in the status line.  You can add more sensors if you turn on the telemetry option, but they're not converted to temperatures, just shown as raw values.

You can also run it in 1-wire weather mode and hook a DS18S20 up to it.  It'll send that temperature in weather format and the internal temperature in the status line.  That'd probably be the simplest way to do it.  The DS18S20 is also more accurate and since it's a digital sensor it's not affected by voltage drop in the cabling.  The advantage of weather format is that it's displayed and graphed properly in FindU and other clients, no need to convert units.

Scott,
   No we don't need a digi. Just need to send the telemetry form two LM355's
so that we can monitor both inside and outside temperature at the repeater
site. Will the OpenTracker+ be able to do this?

Four weeks till the Tracker2s are here, according to the factory!  Half 
the price of a KPC-3+, with a built-in temperature sensor.

And if you don't need it to be a digi itself, why not just use an 
OpenTracker+ for $32?
