format are manifold:
1) The FREQ is highly visible on APRS radios when it flashes for 10
seconds on receipt
2) It is stored in the Station List as the Frequency so it is trivial to
find from the LIST button
3) ALL such frequency objects can be found instantly in the 100-deep list
by pressing the SORT button by CALLSIGN. This puts all these frequency
objects at the top of the list for trivial TUNING using the TUNE or QSY
button.
4) On APRS maps the FREQS stand out and are not just another callsign
requiring a CLICK to see the frequency
5) The weekly NET times are indicated
6) The monthly meeting dates are included
7) Nobody cares what the callsign of a repeater is
The proper format I'd suggest is:

All,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Arial Black"> I have been looking at the
Allstar Aprs beacon and notice that some of the non-Allstar beacons use the
frequency to be display on the map instead of the callsign of the repeater
owner. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Arial Black"></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Arial Black"> From what I understand, if
you use the frequency as the beacon callsign, some of the Kenwood radio and
other radios can just click a button and the radio changes to that
frequency.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

this??</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
