AVMap Geosat 6 APRS And Geosat 6 APRS With Uniden Home Patrol HP-1

[JASII]

I am just wondering if anybody here has any experience with the AVMap Geosat 6 APRS and Geosat 6 APRS units. It looks like they are optimized for Amateur Radio APRS with Kenwood amateur radios. It might be nice if they would work with the Uniden Home Patrol HP-1. It looks like it is ONLY compatible with Kenwoods, however!

Neither appear to have NMEA out.

They both output NMEA 0183, but the output IIRC is a 2.5mm "stereo" plug which fits the side of the Kenwood RC-710 control head/TNC.

Ok, their specs and manual never mention it. Only that it can exchange APRS data with the Kenwood.

Kenwoods require NMEA data for APRS.
I use a Nuvi 350 and Argents GTRANS cable for NMEA to my D700...works slick
I looked at the AVMap units...Nice but big $.
