Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
Yes, I understand that, and noted it in my question, but how is that different to the the iGate not being there in the first place?

Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
Let me start by squashing a few things. WA8LMF is not correct here when it comes to VARA APRS. *On VHF APRS he's very correct in saying that receive only IGates break the system, because in reality it

Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
