It also properly implements messaging, IIRC.  It doesn't artificially  
shorten APRS message length.  Being that APRS is designed for two-way  
communication, that seems like a good thing to not break to me (or am  
I just thinking of the D7 which used [?] to crash with long  
messages).  (Does the D710 have that problem, or will it accept  
messages according to the standard?)
