Yes, that is where I want to go, I would like to be able to dump the APRS
data to a db, probably will try to set things up to where only certain calls
are dumped to the db because I want to gather this for disaster activities,
actually my mapper would be linked to the db and so all data goes into
the db and the mapping is done out of the db. That is the way we do RF
coverage study data where I work. We dump all of the data captures into
a db and then I link the mapper to the db and look at the selected data.
