In article , Dick says...

I am just starting to explore the world of APRS, so I am feeling my
way along here. As I understand from reading the manuals for the
TinyTrak and MIC-E tnc's, there are repeaters that can extract the
APRS tone burst when making a voice contact on a normal repeater and
rebroadcast it into the APRS system. I assume it would be like a
digipeater on 144.39.


The capability to do so may exist, but it's another question
entirely as to whether anyone has actually taken advantage of it.

My understanding of APRS is that it is simplex-only, with a
nationwide frequency of 144.3900. No voice repeaters are involved. It's
all data.

If this has changed, I would be as curious as you as to what
happened, and when.
