[NLRS] Yaesu FT-817 Question

[Arend Schuurman]

Can not say for sure.  I have both rigs but have never used a XVTR so I can 
not say I know much about it.  I should try it some time, you guys sure seem 
to have a blast with yours.....Maybe after I get this APRS Digipeater thing 
going good with my IGate I can think about that...
Anyone ever played with AGWUIdigi?  I am getting it finally, what a deal. 
Learning something totally new by ones self...it is what makes a ham 
sometimes
