Ah-ha!  That's quite revealing, especially the NZ connection to Talon
(the Streetfinder has a 'made in New Zealand' sticker).  The picture
of the innards does match the innards of mine, so I think we have a
winner.

I've always wanted to get an APRS system set up... I think I may have
to pick up another one of these to hack.

Thanks!
