[aprssig] APRS Voice Alert

[Robert Bruninga]

Asier,

Using 100 HZ tone in europe, do you hear many
squelch mistakes due to 50 Hz hum on some systems?

Hi,
I'm Asier, EB2FGI from Spain.
Usually, when I'm in mobile I use Voice Alert  (I think I'm the unique 
ham in Europe using Alert Voice because never I contacted  an other ham 
with this system, but I continue trying ...) and I use 100.0 tone.
