[aprssig] Voice Alert

[Robert Bruninga]

That is the #1 frustration of Voice alert.
1) People enabling it at home so they can hear mobiles coming through but
then they are not in the shack 99% of the time and just frustrating others.
2) People who set voivcee alert and then turn the volume down! (or forget
to turn it back up)

This is ruining the advantage of VA.  You might try sending hem a message
reminding them that they are not answering your VA calls and to check their
volume?
Or, if they are not mobile, send them a message asking them to disable VA
when not at the operating position.
