[aprssig] [Kenwood_TH-D74] monitering aprs "Proximity/Voice Alert!"

Mon May 20 16:56:39 EDT 2019

I have a Yaesu VX-8DR and was quite puzzled  when you said that all APRS
radios have this feature. I can’t find any mention of this in the manual.
In fact, there is a setting that “Enables/Disables audio output of the
‘B-Band’ during APRS operation”
