[App_rpt-users] RANGER network

[David KE6UPI]

Yes I like it. I'll try to update my node. As for the 911. I use the 10
digit number to the 911 center. I like the cmd that way you can do just
about anything.. Maybe have a auto response press 1 to dial 911 or press 2
for auto patch press 3 for AAA etc.
