[aprssig] GPS 18x PC for Kenwood radios

[Scott Miller]

Yeah, it's not hard to do.  And that's part of the reason we're not 
offering it yet - we really need to have a simple and inexpensive option 
if we're going to sell it that way, because it's a fairly low-margin 
item and many hams would rather put something together out of their junk 
box than pay what it would cost us to build them here.
