[aprssig] GPS for D700A

[Scott Miller]

If you want a map, the Garmin GPSmap 176C and 276C work well.  I just 
picked up a 176C on eBay for about $200.

If you don't need a display, see http://www.rpc-electronics.com for 
Deluo GPS receivers and adapters.  I carry the receivers myself, but not 
the D700 adapter.  For whatever reason, Kenwood didn't include power on 
the GPS connector and you've got to have an external power source.
