Lots of keypresses to make the change. It\nwould be easier for someone using software like UISS to type\na few characters in that field. For someone with a TH-D72, you\ncould end up with 20 to almost 40 keypresses to change a call\nsign in a status text field. It is similar for those using a\nmobile radio like a TM-D710G, where you press buttons on the\nmicrophone's DTMF keypad to make those changes. It is much\neasier for the users of the APRS-ready transceivers to pull a\ncall sign from a listing, and in a few keypresses send a\nmessage to that call sign, instead of editing the status text\nto do the same thing.\n\nI know of one west-coast station that uses the status text to\nmake contacts with other stations. I don't think that station\nis using a radio like a TM-D710G to work the passes. For the\nrest of us with the APRS-ready transceivers, we use the messages\nback and forth. We can see when a station sends a message to\nanother station, and can quickly make calls with messages\ncompared to the longer time needed to edit a status text field\nto do the same thing.\n\nUnfortunately, the Kenwood and Yaesu APRS-ready transceivers\nfaithfully implement APRS, where UISS deviates from it slightly\nfor messaging. UISS allows the user to disable the use of ACK\npackets when sending messages. UISS will send an ACK packet, if\nan incoming message requests it, but at least those users have\nthe option of not using ACKs on their own messages to others.\nNow if the APRS standard provided a way for ACKs to be optional,\nand Kenwood and Yaesu implemented this change (i.e., a menu\noption where the ACK requirement for outgoing messages could be\ndisabled)... I wonder who could propose changes to APRS... :-)\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\nTwitter: @WD9EWK or http://twitter.com/WD9EWK\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Sat, Apr 13, 2019 at 2:26 PM John Brier via AMSAT-BB\n<[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Thanks for explaining Bob.
