Does rubber ducky antenna work for APRS?

While looking for something in the storage closet I stumbled on an AP510 tracker. It was hiding in a shoe box for the last 10 years. 😲

I'm trying to bring it back to life. if I place the tracker somewhere in the cabin is there any chance it can reach digipeaters using the built in rubber duck antenna? Wondering if anyone had already tried this route, before committing to a more permanent setup with an external antenna.
