[OZAPRS] VK5EX-4

[Andrew Rich]

This packet is not legal in the APRS Spec.

VK8LM has programmed it up wrong in DIGI-NED

10:50:59R VK8LM-4>APND0Y,GATE,WIDE <UI R Len=77>:
=3407.98SG14043.43E& DIGI_NED: APRS HF/VHF Gate Renmark SA
vk8lm at dodo.com.au

The letter "G" is not valid, this is the place holder for the "SYMBOL
TABLE"

It must be either a "/" or a "\"

The "&" is the symbol, which is a HF gateway.

Position = 34.07.98S, 140.43.43E (this is ok)

The packet SHOULD read

10:50:59R VK8LM-4>APND0Y,GATE,WIDE <UI R Len=77>:
=3407.98S/14043.43E& DIGI_NED: APRS HF/VHF Gate Renmark SA
vk8lm at dodo.com.au

Unless corrupted at your end !

Cheers Andy
