Callsign SSID settings
In VarAC EmComm discussion forum

Hi All, I've re-thought this a bit after spending a bit reading through the information is the forums and the Manuals (RTFM) as it were... Let me explain that because we have several EOCs in a small area, and we have many different operators in the EOCs working at any given time, A club call sign for all the EOCs works out as the best solution for identifying the digital stations. Without this ability, VarAC probably won't fit for us... So what about supporting tactical call signs? We currently have tactical calls for all our EOCs. This is how we call and answer calls while in the EOC, and identifying as specified every 10 mins, Why couldn't you have an EMCOMM mode that we could enter the tactical for the location and the call sign for the group (Area Club Call). Allow the the stations to connect , beacon, broadcast, etc... under the tactical and every 10 mins have each station ID with the club callsign. This would allow us to configure the EOC equipment with the Area Club Call for the local EOCs and still allow them to connect and use all the features while configured for the single callsign. This could be very useful to operators in an EOC during a disaster. Anyways, I really like what your are all doing. I have been playing with HF and have made a few Qs. I will be doing a Youtube Video in the next week or so and look forward to working through the FM issues we are finding while testing for serious use in an EOC. Thanks for all you do!
