I've been thinking about this recently to try and bridge two activities.
With a decent setup, I can do APRS or I can work a repeater. I don't have
all the gear so I haven't tried real APRS yet. My thought is that I'm not
concerned with a VHF station in California when I'm local in Florida. All
I'm really interested in is the local picture. So, would it work to move a
digital picture over a local repeater and remain capable to speak? If
that's true, why wouldn't we do it locally? Pros? Cons?
This might even spark more repeater traffic since a) you'd see folks on
the display or b) you'd hear signs of life even if you don't have APRS.
