[CRAPRS] Alternate APRS frequencies or experiments

>Was it stand alone, or through your PC?
It was A PC.  I have a PC running UI-view, and a D700, it was set as a 
listen only Igate on 144.990 simplex.  If people wanted to do QRP stuff on 
144.99, I might be convinced to put it back on the air as a QRP Igate in 
Hiawatha, dumping everything it hears on to the internet.

This is part of my go kit, I have actually used APRS & a D700 on a ARES 
activity, they were impressed with street level maps, and having voice on 
the same radio, but I haven't had as many chances to setup this stuff 
lately. Kind of setting it up to see if it still works was part of my 
test.

I have also figured out how to setup this system as a digipeater like you 
described, but I have also found the problem you were talking about, if 
you hear traffic to digipeat onto a different frequency, you have no good 
way to verify you are not stomping on somebody else on the transmit 
frequency.  I do not want to incur the wrath of other APRS users of the 
main frequency. :-}
