It is important to note that the APRSlink system was
Designed to allow a D700 or D7 HT user to send and
Receive his WinLink or regular Email using only the
Radio and not even need a PC. This is not immediately
Obvious on the APRSlink web page.
If someone has a PC, then usually they would log onto
a TELPAC node directly to Read their mail. So the
Real advantage of APRSlink is being able to send/rx
Email using only the D7/D700 radio front panel if you
are in A remote situation and need this capability.
