[OZAPRS] Digipeater SSID's

[Richard Hoskin]

Hi Tony,

I did publish a guide on SSIDs some time ago which basically stated the VK
guide for SSIDs.

As the document was lost in a HD crash (no I didn't back it up) I'll write
here what I can  remember. This was adopted by VK3, VK2 and I think VK5
some
time ago.

SSID		Use
-----		----
-0		Home Station, Home Station running IGate.
-1		Digipeater, Home Station running a Relay Digi, Wx
Digipeater
-2		Digipeater on 70CM
-3		Digipeater
-4		HF to VHF Gateway
-5		IGate (Not home station)
-7		Kenwood D7 HH
-9		Mobiles
-12		Portable Units such as Laptops etc.

The reason for the allocation was to allow easy recognition of pivotal
APRS
network devices without the need to decode the APRS packets. Also with the
use of the Icon and a SSID it is easy to identify a mulit-funtional
station
such as a Wx station that is also running a Relay digipeater or a
Wide Digipeater that is running a Wx station etc.

The remaining SSIDs where free for generally use.

Cheers
Richard

We are about to redo our digipeater Eproms by the looks of it here in VK5
..
There seems to be a standard by the looks of things with SSID 1 .. Can
sombody put some light on this.. Maybee Richard or Hamish ..

Basically whats the deal with digi SSIDs .. I sorta remember reading
something a while back.. I have the info on the Overlays but whats the
deal
with SSID's and does it really matter.. It will likely have an impact if I
start messing with them in a few areas .. I wonder if its really worth
it..
