(APRS.net has a wiki, with useful info about paths, Regional Info (NorCal) and special ToCall codes)
(Bob Bruniga's pages about packet etiquette... having Digis send local info... and D710 set-up )
(There are Yahoo Group (must be a member to read posts) for ca-aprs and Kenwood_TH-D72 )
(ARES Clues: There is a Yahoo Group for Linux RMS for WinLink 2000 users, Santa Clara Co freqs)

Is anyone working with the Arduino, to make an APRS portable weather observer?
(I'm working with I2C-based sensors, including a Lightning Detector, but still need wind speed/direction. REALLY Sensitive!)
(Now, to find out how to create a data stream that's APRS-WX-compliant...)
As of AUG 2018, you can find the Kenwood HAM downloads page here...

If you want an inexpensive, lightweight backup mag-mount antenna (great for backpacking, too!), try the MFJ-1722S

Update: 2022-09-15: I've relocated to SW Coastal Oregon, and have finally unpacked the radios and packet gear. I'm hoping to build up a high-level digi to go up on the local repeater site, to improve the coverage of the low-level iGate in town. -N6UOW-
