THe radio asks "Do you want to set EMergency" and then "ARE YOU SURE?"
It seems to me that there is no easy way to do this accidentally.

NO, do it on a different frequency into a dummy load... never ever on

PCSAT2 will be outside (seeing the sky) Tuesday at 0800 and 0945 EDT for
the mornings pass of PCsat. PCSAT2 will be transmitting its packets via
PCsat (W3ADO-1) to demonstrate satellite-to-satellite communications.
East Coast Users are welcome to try the path of PCSAT-1,PCSAT2,PCSAT-1 for
a triple satellite hop test.
Notice, if we do our job right and coammand PCsat to use its callsign of
PCsat-1 then your packets will get through. Otherwise your packets will
not cause a burden until we get it configured properly..
And since this is a morning pass, remember that it will be HALF the pass
before she has enough energy to respond to our commands. So wait till you
see us configure PCsat before loading her down. I will change the
callsign to PCSAT-1 to indicate that she is ready..
Actually, we are not inviting a lot of activity, because we will set
PCSAT2 to a 10 second beacon and what we are interested in seeing is how
many of them make it to PCsat.
If it rains (like it has for the last 23 of the last 30 days, then forget
it...

I have had the misfortune of dropping my D7 and now all the time it sounds
like I am overdriving the mic no matter what I do. Is there a way to adjust
the TX deviation on the rig to get it back so my TX doesn't sound like
feedback all the time?
Thanks

They both come back registered to AT&T WorldNet services. I can dig a little
further if you need anything else.

I'm in the PNW network where this occured, but had no hint that it was
happening until reading the mail. Sure would be nice if WinAPRS would make
some kind of noise when these emergency signals are being transmitted. That
was one of the things I appreciated about APRSdos, having the alarm signal
and the map center on the location. I guess some of the other programs
have some kind of warning feature as well, otherwise no one else would have
known it, either.

A problem I see is, what does APRS "EMERGENCY" mean? If it means Mayday or
SOS it should say that. I can see how someone at a EOC or participating in
an emergency could think that the EMERGENCY beacon would be proper.

Thanks to all who replied. I bookmarked that sam page! Handy!
I find it interesting to look at my log pages from my web server from time
to time and see who is trying to hxxx into my system.
If anyone is running a web server, it would be interesting to see of you
have these IP's in your log files. Let me know if you do! I run Xitami and
it keeps a fairly good log of who is doing what!
Now if I could keep Slurp away!!!! hahahaha

I would hope that the people at an EOC or such a situation would have the
common sense to know that would NEVER be proper.
The use of the term "emergency" by itself should never be transmitted,
ever, unless it is a true emergency asking for imediate assistance. This
is common sense. Yelling FIRE in a movie theater is also not a good idea.
Whenever anyone transmits anything, they must think about what their
transmission means on the other end. What you transmit means nothing.
What counts is what is "received"...(and perceived) at the other end.
