[aprssig] OT: Yaesu to release digital amateur radio gear

[Bob Bruninga]

>> AFAIK voice repeaters are more likely to die of loneliness than overuse.

Which is why I want VOIP connection with APRS so that I can talk to someone
anywhere on the planet (in real time on APRS) not just get luckyu and find
someone within 10 miles.

This is why I strongly believe the future of APRS is in signaling a VOIP
connection between end-to-end FM radios (AVRS) which is a generic name for
IRLP, Echolink, Allstar, Dstar or Astar to deliver the audio.
