Ah, but we have APRS everywhere on 144.39 in the USA. You can listen with CTCSS 100 and after a minute or so, will know if anyone (APRS) is nearby, or you can call with PL100 and if anyone is nearby, they will hear you. Why is this different from 146.52? Because your APRS station is calling "CQ" automatically every minute or two if you are moving. And no matter what voice channel you are playing with with your radio, your 144.39 radio is ALWAYS on 144.39 with speaker connected and volume up (if you are running Voice Alert) ready for a call. During the holiday season, with lots of folks on the road, don't forget to join us on Voice Alert and don't be shy about making a human contact! Bob, WB4APR
