Here in Santa Rosa, I want to figure how to alert people at 2 am because of unfortunate recent history - and unimpressive nonchalant official response. The manual to my Kenwood th-72a sez this about APRS... "ATTENTION: When it is unnecessary, never select “EMERGENCY!”. When an emergency signal is received using APRS, the Emergency Alarm on all stations will sound." So if I do that will it sound an alarm signal in all radios tuned to APRS freq? I don't want to try it for fear of causing a general panic. I'm preparing a white paper on emcomm alerts for the club. |
