I must be missing something here...I've got one of the original Vantage Pro
(with the older style radios) and the original data logger.  It has been
reporting in APRS format since day one, using the Davis Weatherlink
software, although I believe there is other software (including, if I
remember correctly) some freeware, or low cost shareware.

You don't need the fancy new interface, if you are willing to run the data
through logging software.
