You can send messages with APRS, and if you were to add voice, and a 
way to use control the traffic, then you would have something 
similar, but practically with APRS you would have to be on one freq 
for voice and one for data.  With DStar one radio and 1 freq pair can 
handle both voice and data sexlessly.
