APRS/Packet

Is there many on here having a play with APRS or packet radio?

I'm having good enjoyment playing with APRS over the last few months, great to see where your signal is getting out to and the path it took to get there! (Handy tool to keep an eye on 2m band conditions as well!)

Current setup is a Kenwood TS2000, Kenwood TMD710 and Kenwood TH-D72

Thanks
