UPDATE!!!! (SOMETHING IS GOING OBSOLETE?)

The Radio model number is actually TM-D710A and the "A" should denote APRS
functionality. I think I may have figured part of my earlier question out
for myself.

So much for buying a TM-D700A old model when there seems to be a new model
on the way.

ONE BIG POINT TO BE MADE
I bet we shall see a drop in price for the TM-D700A radios soon and we
certainly should be asking for a big price reduction if anyone plans on
buying a (soon to be obsoleted?) TM-D700A.

It may be replaced but it won't be obsolete until they stop supporting
it.
