?But APRS is in Auto mode, it only transmitts when when the Squelch is 
closed at least that's how mine works, it my tiny tracker or Kenwood 710 is 
ready to transmitt a beacon it waits till the squelch is closed, if it is 
hearing a digi or another beacon from a vehicle it waits till it is clear, I 
would imaging it would be the same with the RTG


Cheers
