[aprssig] Local Event using RELAY?

[Robbie - WA9INF]

Chris,

You do not understand Chris. The D-700 would be listening on 144.990, 
but transmitting on 144.390 as if in Repeater mode. You just "offset" 
the transmit frequency by 600 khz. I have not actually done this with 
mine since I had no need to try it. But it means then, you listen on 
144.990, and with the digipeat on RELAY or whatever the tracker is set 
to on 144.990, the D-700 would digipeat it out on 144.390 without having 
any means to "hold off" transmitting if the channel is busy. Not good 
practice nor is it correct.
