Howdy APRS friends,
In reading about APRS I thought, wow that's really cool! So I decided to study and get my amateur radio license. (actually passed if you can believe it
One of the things that became clear when studying is that hams are all about "polite" operation of the radio...that is they don't just blast out a signal if someone else is transmitting.
That got me thinking about how APRS works. Are there some options that will "listen" for others broadcasting and politely wait until they're done before transmitting packets? It'll be a while until the -7A is flying, but when I do get 'er airborne, I'd like to be a good amateur radio citizen as well as a good pilot.
Thanks,
Mike
