Since there are 20,000 APRS users on the air, the APRS maps and data can
get very cluttered.  Also, most operators have multiple stations on the
air, such as their HOME, CAR, BOAT, and HT.  It is very convenient to be
able to recognise these typical applications at a glance.

  Here are those common defaults:



-0 Home Station, Home Station running IGate.
-1 Digipeater, Home Station running a Relay Digi, Wx Digipeater
-2 Digipeater [#2 or] on 70CM
-3 Digipeater [#3]
-4 HF to VHF Gateway
-5 IGate (Not home station) -6 is for Operations via Satellite
-7 Kenwood D7 HH
-8 is for boats, sailboats and ships (maybe 802.11 in the future)
-9 is for Mobiles (Not HF see -15)
-10 is for operation via The internet only
-11 is for APRStouch-tone users  (and the occasional Balloons) 
-12 Portable Units such as Laptops, Camp Sites etc.
-14 is for Truckers
-15 is for HF

Unfortunately I believe that many APRS operators are not on the OZAPRS
list or perhaps are not even aware of the above list if you know of such
operator please pass this list on to them.

Note that in the case of an SSID of -0 the SSID as in Packet is left off
with -0 not being used at all.

VK4BBS is correct whilst VK4BBS-0 is not.
