Dear Lynn,
Nice to text with you yesterday. In my mind this is the way messaging should work on APRS. Easy and fast.
Couple of problems I am having though, which may be a problem with my particular phone: HTC Touch, Sprint
After I load the file and unzip it: under password, there already is a "-1" filled in. Is that supposed to be there and my generated pass code should be put in before or after that? Or should I just type over it. It doesn't seem to make any difference.
Sometimes when I go back to check my "configure", my own password code is displayed already in the Filter box. It is difficult to clear, either I need to type anything over it, accept that then type spaces over the jibberish I typed in and rehit accept.
I don't always get the text messaging available. When I go to FindU I sometimes see the text tests I'm sending to another radio, but not always. Have I set something incorrectly?
I realize this is a BETA, but I can really see how neat this will be when it's completed. Great work.
