@doskel Unfortunately, like, it's cool but I think I see two main issues with it.
AFSK over FM is inefficient but it allows any commodity radio to be used for APRS. Direct FSK means you now need a USB capable transmitter or one with an exposed data port, something that's much more rare. You ever used APRSDroid, The Cable™️, and a Baofeng with VOX enabled?
It's going to end up causing a split-brain if it takes off. It'll never supplant APRS, so we'll have two separate, incompatible protocols to serve the same purpose in an endless struggle to find a decisively superior one. Just like echolink and all-star.
