I disagree with that statement, but only slightly. There's no way a
"properly coded" APRS program would be bothered by OpenTrac. Some
of the programs might try to decode packets that used a different
protocol ID than APRS, for instance if they had KISS TNC capability
they might see TCP/IP packets and OpenTrac packets and try to decode
them as APRS. The program in this case _should_ filter out anything
that's not the APRS protocol ID, but some may not.
Well, I think we ended up doing a little survey and found zero APRS
programs that didn't check PID, right? It's hard to remember -- my wife
found a gray hair in my head last week!
