Wes-
"B APRS stations with General Personnel Scanners can "
  APRS stations use GPS, meaning "Global Positioning System". The phrase
"General Personnel Scanners" (they really said Personnel, not personal?) is a
double-nonsense phrase that shows the person responding doesn't remember what
GPS stands for in the APRS context. So, it would be wrong.
 And, I would say that A (the EMT) was wrong because APRS doesn't handle the
bandwidth that medical personnel need during their transmissions, more than
anything else. APRS is typically running at 1200bps but EMT's who are sending
live EKG's and other data are using way higher bandwidth to transmit those
"charts" in real time. AFAIK there is no one using APRS for real-time
transmission of anything more than bursty data, and if there is, that's the
oddball use.
 Remember, when they say "All of the above" it means without any headscratching,
that ALL of the above will be TOTALLY correct in every way.
