Why does a D7/D700/D710/VX8 user care about these at all, as far as how
they do or do not show on those displays? Those radios can't make use
of the digital repeater anyhow.

<br>
It might be more of a concern if they show (at all) on an Icom digital
radio display.

I guess if a DSTAR user also had in the same vehicle an APRS display..

If this stuff is being beaconed on "conventional" APRS, then presumably
the person doing the beaconing would assume that other users should be
able to see and use the information. Perhaps the D-Star power user
has both a D700 for APRS, and a D-Star radio in his vehicle. <br>
<br>
[Actually, this issue of analog vs digital repeaters may be why this is
only being beaconed (as far as I can determine) to the APRS Internet
System and not to RF.]<br>
