[aprssig] OT: Fujitsu Stylistic Pen's Was. RE: Messaging on the NUVI GPS

[Dave Baxter]

If anyone has a spare "pen" for an early Stylistic 1200, one of the
active types with the AAAA cell (yes, 4 A's!)  I'd like to know please..

The early 1200's had a pasive screen, that needed a signal radiated from
the pen.  AFIK, it's somewhere between 30k to 150kHz  I did make it
respond once to a coil fed from a sig-gen, but that's not exactly
practical for portable work!

73.
