But in APRS1.2 we have defined what we call ITEM-IN-MESSAGE
format.  It DOES let you send an object within a message to a
particular station.  This feature is exactly for the purpose you
desire.  The AVRS system will respond with such an object so
that the messaged-station gets the FREQ-object info on his
radio.

You can SEND it now.  The Igate WILL send it out to RF.  But
until APRS clients and radios begin recognizing it, it more or
less falls on the ground.  But please begin sending it.  See
www.aprs.org/aprs12.html

Then I can convince YeaWood to include it.
