[OZAPRS] Does any APRS client actually detect anemergencystatus ??

[vk3hjq John]

Hi Again,

I have just e-mailed Giuseppe iw2jzq who wrote APRS Emergency to see what
the go is when using a Kenwood TM-D700, (New TM-D710A) or TH-D7A.

See what I get back from him.

But you would think it would work OK wouldn't you, although I have never
had
an Emergency here to see if it works, maybe I will get someone local to
beacon an Emergency ( on Simplex ) to see if it really does work, I will
let
you know how I get on....
