[FADCA] 35 Telpacs in FLorida? Is that for real?

[Russell Oder]

One of mine is up when needed (n4kox-4) as it is UHF but as soon as the 
second UHF Tait radio comes it will be on 24/7 at 9600 bps throught the 
N4KOX 444.700 repeater.

Also, I, like some others, may not be running the latest version of Telpac 
so our systems don't continue to update their presence on the Winlink site. 
Have they settlled down on a workable Telpac version I can install and 
expect it to run now that we are back in the Hurricane Season?
