[aprssig] Re: DFing voice on 144.39 in NOVA

If this APRS software uses the sound card to "announce" stations, and that is what is being sent back thru the 2m radio.

Does this software also "announce" a message sent to it? If so, start sending short messages to any station in the area, and see if it repeats it.
