<div>Yup, automatic CQ... we liken it to a sonar ping. And once you know someone's within range, you call them on 144.39pl100. Around our town we call it the "hailing frequency"</div>

<div>I tell you what would be cool.... If kenwood would add another beeper option that we could set to some range (usually 10 miles) and instead of hearing a beep-beep for every APRS station, I'd only hear the ones within 10 miles. Yes, I could probably set the max range to 10 miles, but then those stations outside 10 miles wouldn't get plotted on my GPS.</div>
