"The OpenTracker+ is a simple, low‐cost amateur radio data encoder capable of generating 1200 or 300 baud AX.25 packets using the APRS™ protocol, as well as PSK31 text beacons. It can be connected to a GPS receiver to report position, course and speed, time, and altitude, or it can encode and transmit data from a supported weather station. It will also report telemetry from its onboard temperature and voltage sensors, and an external counter input can report a cumulative total of counter events or the number of events since last transmission.. With its expandability and ease of reprogramming, the device can be adapted to a wide variety of tasks."
This is a 500 mW transmitter, $70


I think both APRS products are designed to connect to a Kantronics TNC
OpenTracker+ is open source / open hardware and uses a Motorola MCU.
 
Tracker2
 
These are just controllers, connects a data stream (eg weather or gps) to a Kantronics TNC.
 
They now have a Tracker2 with a 5 watt 2m radio now. T2-301 $229
