[aprssig] WIDE-3-3

Curt is correct - the MY POS with the D700A is NOT the standard ACK - the my 
pos is what the D700A will show when it hears a packet that has it's own 
call.....  such as my setup, when my radio receives a packet with K9FV-1, it 
will display "my pos" instead of showing the call.... it's not an "ack".
