I never did understand the 'APRS needs an NoV' arguement. Can someone
explain what the reasoning was please?
As far as I can see, many stations send beacons and you have to identify in
some format. Since UI frames are used for unconnected packets, such as when
you unexpectedly loose a connection for some reason, or decide to call 'CQ'
(Now, that takes me back to the days before NODES and Digipeaters, when you
had to find someone else using packet to be able to connect at all. HI!)
then UI frames should be 'OK'. So, where the arguments against APRS based on?
That is, other than the usuall mistrust of anything new, or that is not
understood by the complainant. :o)
