We now have a program that takes rino positions and icons and converts them to aprs positions. That program can then pass the positions along to xastir and probably winaprs (untested). Now, what if a rino user were in trouble. It would be nice to be able to tell my guys in the field (the ones with the rino units) that they could do "something" to their rino to cause APRS to see an emergency message packet... just like the emergency mic-e packets. Would it be that we select a certain icon on the rino unit AND some text in the radio callsign? Or just some text in the radio callsign? Perhaps EMERGENCY for a callsign? Or TESTING for the test? I dunno.... Are there any suggestions? I'd like to suggest right off the bat that we come up with two ways to send an emergency packet... one that is real, one that is for testing. Wes
