I have no idea how they do it but they seem to find cheap GPS receivers, especially OEM types, frequently and at very good prices. I have no idea if APRS is popular in Europe, I frankly dont know why APRS is popular at all, but there is a large and growing community of activity over here. Search them out on the Internet and keep in touch and make some inquiries and I am sure that others like myself last year, will find a source of receivers at a very low price. I have just spoken with a local, well 35 miles away, who is into APRS and he tells me that there were some very cheap GPS RX's around in early November - he thinks they were mentioned a few times on the TAPR APRS SIG (Special Interest Group).
