Beacon Text

IIrad,

Is it possible that you may be able to edit the beacon text for EmComm use? I am part of the EDM team and if and when VarAC is used for EmComm use to have the capabilities to add a short text letting operators know that there is an EmComm operation going on. Something simple, like for our test EDM Test and place for the locater of the operation or station.

Thanks and 73,

Jim, N8JE

With the limitations to VARA I am thinking I opened a can of worms. Therefore I am dropping this subject until Irad comes up with a better idea.

THANK YOU. Irad, in my opinion this should only be allowed in combination with an ALERT TAG.. I am probably a lone wolf in this. Also, Pat in his wonderful manual should STATE this clearly. I hate to see this being misused. It also should be time restricted, maybe every 15 mins for say 6 hrs max? Better folks than me should look at this.

Ever so many thanks... your program is going from Strenght to strenght.
