[aprssig] APRS Frequency info?

[Donald J. Tambeau]

    A few minutes ago I read  Bob's message on       ([aprsig] APRS 
Frequency info?)    and decided that I would come back his message later 
once I finished reading my dozen or so messages and I would once and for all 
fix the frequency info on both my D7 and D710 so that they would conform to 
the NEW APRS FREQUENCY  FORMAT.  I read a few more email and arrived to your 
email Stephen.   Oh good I told myself...he will just tell me what to type 
in with the proper spaces and all and I will save myself some time.   I read 
further and found no such instruction.   Just what help were you trying to 
give the readers Stephen?  You didn't help me, you just made me loose a bit 
more time.  Never mind.  I went back to Bob's  message after reading the 
rest of my emails and from there clicked on his URL Web page and configured 
both my D7 and D710.  Now fellow hams...if ever we meet on the Highways of 
the world and you should like a little chat...that goes for you too Stephen, 
my monitored frequency will be clearly visible on your monitor.
