Also, whether or not your using UI-View32 the "New n-N Paradigm" parameters apply to ALL facets of APRS hardware and software alike. If you're an old hat with ARPS or just getting your feet wet the first time, please do NOT use the the UNPROTO paths suggested in the UI-VIEW "HELP file" (F1). These settings pertain to Europe and abroad. Never ever use RELAY,WIDE,WIDE or RELAY,WIDE,WIDE,WIDE! This creates way to much QRM on the channel (144.390). In other words we in the ARPS community and Digipeater owners do NOT wish to see stations digipeated 200+ times across the country. Keep it in your own backyard (State). Using these type of settings will hinder Emergency type of communications when the need arises. Because these stations are congesting the Network with useless and unnecessary UNPROTO paths. Please use the following settings for Mobile stations: APRS,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 (This will yield a 3 HOP for rual areas) APRS,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 (This will yield a 2 HOP prefered for dense areas) For fixed stations use: Use APRS,WIDE2-2 Also, do not use TRACE in the UNPROTO path, this is now obsolete and being dropped as digipeater's are updated in accordance with the "New n-N Paradigm" parameters. Please refrain from using WIDE4-4 thru WIDE7-7 unless you live in a very remote area, West of the Mississippi River. For further information and suggested guide lines about "Fixing the 144.39 APRS Network" please visit Bob Bruninga, WB4APR web site: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/aprs/fix14439.html APRS Digipeating and Path Selection 101 http://webs.lanset.com/wa8lmf/DigiPaths/index.htm And please do not email me wanting to know how to do or fix something with UI-View32.
