[aprssig] APRS rig of 2mro

[Fred Eckert]

Thanks for the feedback Curt!

Is there an Xastir group / mailing list? I am keen to expand my knowledge of this application. I have been using it for a few months at home via the APRS-IS.

I really like how the festival speech synthesizer can announce my incoming APRS messages. Can the package go the other way and take my speech input to compose messages? This would be very beneficial in a mobile rig.

Thanks again,
Fred

No chuckles here...  Investigate SDR:  Software Defined Radio.
That's the up-and-coming next generation of amateur radios.

Just to get your feet wet, check out the SoftRock radios.  If you
have serious money to invest there are other options.

People are working on SDR's that get up into the VHF frequencies but
most current SDR's work at HF frequencies.
