For starters:



1)    The displayable symbol set is over a decade out of date.     I 
have been distributing updated replacement APRS symbol sets in formats 
for other programs that store the symbol set as external graphics.   I 
was unable to do a version for WinAPRS since the symbols are embedded 
inside the main executable.     If you have a preferred format, I can 
reformat and supply you one of my existing layouts of the current "Rev 
H" symbol set.


   Updated "Rev H" APRS            http://wa8lmf.net/aprs/APRS_symbols.htm
   Symbols Set for UI-View,
   UIpoint and APRSplus:

   
2)    KISS TNC support so that the new breed of low-cost KISS-only TNCs 
such as TNC-X or TinyTrak 4 (or the MixW soundcard softmodem) could be 
used.
