Shortening VMAILS
I read a comment somewhere in the Forum, that Irad is considering shortening the amount of text to be entered in a VMAIL.
While I can understand the need to do so on the calling QRG, I wonder if there might be a different way to reduce the load on the QRG.
How about compressing the message, and sending it that way (just like when a picture or file is sent)?
How about limiting VMAIL size JUST on the calling QRG, but allowing the current 500 character messages on other frequencies?

Here are my lessons learned in our ongoing exercise on this subject:
- Parking messages for relay can only be done by drafting the message when prompted to do so, after the connection has been made. The relay station must be in 'AWAY' status for this scenario to play out.
- There is a 350 character limit for VMail. There is a counter in lower left of the message form. Recommend drafting the message on the SEND VMAIL form before your connection and edit down to 350 characters. When done editing, copy the text, make your connection to the relay station, and then paste your text into the message form when prompted with the option to send VMail..
