Great!  Nice to see some more 2-way APRS mobiles that one can
actually talk to!  Oh, and by the way, Voice Alert was
originally used DIRECT when within simplex range, but in
Northern Virginia, we have installed a crossband Voice Alert
repeater on a Fredrick MD mountain which lets you call ALL APRS
mobiles over the entire metro area by transmitting on UHF
445.925 with Tone 100 and announce your voice repeater
monitoring frequency.  

The crossband repeater will send out your VOICE Alert call on
144.39 with PL 100 so that all APRS mobiles within 50 miles will
hear it.
