A lot of people use old HTs for APRS Gateways and Digis. Stay away from the cheap Chinese ones for digital work though...the receivers leave much to be desired and you will miss out on a lot of decodes.

I've used a Kenwood THD 72 with RMS Packet back before Raspberry?Pi came about. I used an external GP 6 dual-band antenna. It worked until I got a TNC-x (First one John Hanson created) added it to my first Kenwood V 71.

Thanks for being human like the rest of us. I live in a rural part of Mississippi now and would love to setup a gateway. Can I use a HT for it?? Do you have a Howto on how to set this up?
