With the great poential of the WinLINK/TELpac system
I would strongly suggest that as a system, that the
beacons should be automatic,be consistent, include
Position and PHG, and the frequency (for scannning
data capture).  

We have found in any system that leaving such important 
settings to the "user". guarantees loss of consistency
reliability, usefullness and presence.

I hope with your thorough background in APRS and your
excellent knowledge of the WinLINK system, that you
know someone you can quielty influence to consider
these additions...

thanks, Bob, WB4APR
