[drats_users] question about GPS integration

Right.

I certainly can.  All of the NMEA-compliant GPSes I have are 4800 baud, 
which I thought was part of the spec.  The 2200 has both options, so 
perhaps NMEA specifies either (or maybe not at all)?

Yeah.  Don't the radios assume 4800 baud when you have them in GPS mode?

Either way, I can do it.

Yeah, I need to do something about the whole settings box.  It's getting 
pretty out of hand.  When things settle down a bit, I'd like to 
entertain a conversation about how to better organize it.
