Question by Merton, VK6FMTG:
Can I use the audio output function from my smartphone APRS app to generate the position report as an audio burst, then play that into my microphone?
No.
A Foundation Licencee is only allowed to emit in mode A and mode E, that is Telegraphy for aural reception (A) and Telephony (E).
Given that the information is of a digital nature, it's not permitted.
You can however use a smartphone app, since that does not use any amateur emissions.
