[OZAPRS] information on APRS in Australia.

[Mike Zwingl oe3mzc]

Richard,
tnx fer ur info.
However I see a problem with the different digi paths necessary:
on 10MHz HF: GATE, WIDE  and for testing correct QRG-setting I would need
to 
test via ECHO, etc..
with ISS you suggest: SGATE,WIDE
but on VHF 145.175 path setting would be RELAY, WIDE

I am using a TinyTrak3 and I have only 2 settings available in the memory.

Since I am not sure to understand all details of the DIGI-PATH command,
let 
me ask the group: What would you suggest to use, if I want to leave a 
reliable track during my travel from Perth to Darwin and Alice?
I guess around cities it would be preferable to use VHF-APRS on 145.175
and 
in between and in bush I would use 10MHz HF and eventually ISS. But to my 
understanding it would require some reprogramming of the TinyTrak3 using a

Laptop and RS232.
Any hints?
