[aprssig] D710 Whack-A-Mole! RE: Voice Alert

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

Yup, automatic CQ... we liken it to a sonar ping.  And once you know
someone's within range, you call them on 144.39pl100.  Around our town we
call it the "hailing frequency"

I tell you what would be cool.... If kenwood would add another beeper option
that we could set to some range (usually 10 miles) and instead of hearing a
beep-beep for every APRS station, I'd only hear the ones within 10 miles.
Yes, I could probably set the max range to 10 miles, but then those stations
outside 10 miles wouldn't get plotted on my GPS.
