[drats_users] IC92AD-DRats and voice comms concurrently?

[Gord & Maureen Dick]

Hi Greg:
On my 91AD I have done D Rats and voice without changing any  
settings.  Not sure about the 92AD.  The DGPS does have to be turned  
off.  If your in a fixed location put your coordinates into the  
preferences.  BTW ... we are starting to experiment with 145.780  
simplex in our area.  You won't hear too much at the moment though.   
You'll have to join us on one of our exercises in the near future.   
Keep in touch with me and I'll let you know.  We have one this Tuesday  
but the mix has already been sorted out.  Any other questions as away  
Greg.
