[aprssig] APRStt question

[Scott Miller]

My upcoming ADS-SR2 does DTMF decoding on 2 channels (should be 3 in the 
next hardware version) and has a BASIC scripting language.  If someone 
really wanted to, they could use it to configure their own APRS DTMF 
gateway using whatever format they wanted to set up.  And it doesn't 
have text-to-speech capability (yet, anyway) but it'll play WAV files so 
you can record numbers and letters and messages and have the unit 
respond back with a voice confirmation.
