Howard, I guess if you were listening to an occupied CW frequency when
first were licensed you would not have mindlessly started transmitting
on top of the occupied frequency. This is what receive less trackers
including your quenchless radio and Byonics TT4 do whether in VHF or HF
mode.
Ray, you are correct the full TNC's are a good solution, but how many of
the current crop of APRS operator purchase a TNC rather they take the
tracker option and contribute to channel congestion and packet
retransmission. If you dont have a receiver on the transmitting
frequency you should not be transmitting on that frequency. So the
problem just propagates into the future.
I acknowledge that Trackers are generally small and able to be
integrated easily but without the receiver its a non compliant solution.
With that I go back to lurk mode
