Hi Bob!
I was not aware of this. Thanks! For me with just my TH-D72A, I'm still partial to the APRS messages. Then I have a copy of what I sent and received in the HT, without hoping that gateway stations have received all of the packets and forwarded them to ariss.net. The APRS status packets will be overwritten with successive packets received from the other station(s), although if I see what I want to see I can still call it a QSO.
73!

If packet stations simply put a ">" as the first character of their packet then they instantly become "APRS Sttus" messages and will show on the front panel of ALL APRS radios and handhelds.
Without that, the packet is undefined and not displayed as being non-APRS. So packet stations desiring to be seen by most of the others on ISS, should remember that if they want to be seen by others begin with a">".
