However, from the point of view of allowing the mode to develop, it's

standalone digis and trackers, the intelligence should be in the
software, and the TNC should be used in KISS mode. Once you do that, you
get rid of many of the current performance restrictions.
As someone who has written code to decode all the position reports,
don't you find the sheer number of different position report types
excessive? I would prefer that a GPS-aware TNC had a little more intelligence
and could convert an NMEA $GP... string into a standard position report
format, rather than broadcasting it as-is. For example.
