No, unless something changed, the APRS is being generated by a Garmin GPS
device hooked up to an OpenTracker+ APRS terminal adapter that connects into
the radio. Nils was working on an APRS/AX.25 TA for the G1. We were going
to have them each broadcast a different call sign so we could differentiate
and compare the generated data. He scrapped the idea because of
complexities of muxing the signal between the OT+ and the G1, and the G1's
inability to function above 60,000'.
