Again, my personal view is that it's pretty cool that third parties are finally addressing this issue, but Winlink should be forced to offer this feature in their program so that everyone can monitor every winlink message they can hear on the air right out of the box. --- // | Again, my personal view is that it's pretty cool that third parties are finally addressing this issue, but Winlink should be forced to offer this feature in their program so that everyone can monitor every winlink message they can hear on the air right out of the box. --- // | ||
