[OZAPRS] VK2RHR digipeater High Range

[Ian Mills]

Hi Geoff,

Mittagong is too far south for vk2jpj-1 and too far west for vk2amw-1 .. I
regularly travel the M5/, Hume Highway, Picton road, Mt Ousley, I get
posits until Campbelltown then nothing until the bottom of Mt Ousley .. I
think Karls suggestion of another APRS repeater @ Highrange is a great
idea or one up in the high Blue Mountains (Katoomba etc) as I can access
repeaters on 2m along those roads, however no APRS :-(

Cheers
Ian vk2him (Kiama)

Hi Karl,

Unfortunately no, all APRS activity is on 145.175.  There should be ample
coverage of your area by the existing digipeaters at VK2AMW-1 at Maddens
Plains and VK2JPJ-1 in the CBD (yes, it has phenomenal coverage)

For a mobile setup, you need to set your path to be  RELAY,WIDE   
That is all you need to set to ensure your packets reach the Igate in
Campbelltown and then onwards into the network.

Regards,
Geoff  VK2XJG

Hi all,I'm new to the APRS game and have a question.Is it possible to use
the High Range digipeater VK2RHR on 144.950 for APRS input?if so,how do I
have to set my tinytrak to get it to work.If not,what can be done to
enable it?
It would be very useful to have this area covered.
