Early APRS Handhelds

[Robert Bruninga]

Does anyone remember the first Hand Held APRS display?



The TH-D7 came out in 1998. I’m trying to get back earlier than that.



I’m remembering something like a handheld Hewlet Packard HP-100 or
something like that which some people figured out how to run APRS on. Does
anyone remember anything else back in the 1995 or 6 time frame?



I’m trying to clear up the history.

APRSDOS ran on the HP 100. Wouldn't run on the HP95 because the
screen was half the standard size. I used my HP95 for JNOS.

Does a Palm Pilot IIIx, Kantronics KPC-3, Garmin GPS45 and a Yaesu
FT-51r count?
I recall playing with that setup for a (very) short time. Still have
everything but the GPS45
(I traded it in on a 12CX which I still have). When the TH-D7a hit the
market I jumped on it
just to simplify the wiring.
