[aprssig] THD72 Open House HRO Atlanta

I was pleased to see serial connections for both external access to the TNC and GPS, as well as a USB port for TNC access.  This version really is going to be the top dog when it comes out.

Yaesu tried to with the VX-8GR.  They have the internal GPS, as well as SOME serial access, but only for external GPS use.  I was able to use the $GPWPL output to at least write a simple logging program:
