KX3

Can the KX3 send receive APRS?  Could the KX3 be connected to a GPS with a USB interface?

Yes, but not without another device. APRS is implemented as a severe subset of the packet protocol.  (Unnumbered Data Packets)  you could use a full Terminal Node Controller (TNC) or you could use a simplified interface which implements ONLY APRS. These are usually refered to as trackers or some cute marketing name. Your interface (TNC or other) may or may not support GPS directly. You may need a computer to provide the glue between the TNC, the GPS, and the KX3. Portable solutions usually employ specialized dedicated interfaces. Fixed APRS nodes (weather) are often lashed together from discrete devices. A web search will reveal thousands of resources for your reading enjoyment.
