[aprssig] D700 or... ? for simultaneous voice and packet

[Wes Johnston]

That is correct.... If you are already transmitting voice, and the TNC
wants to transmit, it will not until you unkey.  At that moment it will
keyup and transmit a packet.  This often causes me to not hear the
courtesy beep of my local repeater.... because when I unkey, the TNC
transmits and by the time the packet is done the repeater has already
played the C beep.

Now, as far as receiving goes... If I am listening to the local 2m chit
chat, and my d700 TNC wants to transmit, depending on a menu setting it
will wait for one or both sides of the radio to be "quiet" before it
transmits.  If you have it set to "both", and there is a lot of chit
chat on your local repeater, the TNC will never transmit a position.  If
you have it set to data band only, then invaribly the tnc will keyup and
cause the voice side to mute (more correctly desense) if the voice side
is on 2m and the TNC is transmitting on 2m.  If you happen to be on a
70cm repeater, the two frequencies are so far apart that there is no
desense.
