[OZAPRS] European v USnewparadigmand pathlimiting +confusion....

[Chris Hill]

Hi Andrew,

Is there an advantage to having a path of "WIDE1-1, WIDE2-2", instead of
"WIDE3-3"?

I would have thought that the slightly shorter packet (approx 10% shorter)
would be preferable, as it has a slightly better chance of being decoded
error free at the first digipeater (and hence accessing the network).

Am I missing something, or is "APRS v WIDE1-1, WIDE2-2" a carry over from
the old paradigm?


Regards,



Chris

Gday Dion,

As per you previous email , transient / mobile aprs users would use the 
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 generic National config.. Whereas home stations, 
digipeaters, special nets, non -interstate ( inter-zone) mobile users
could 
perhaps use the ZONEn-n config. So getting on the boat shouldn't cause too

much grief for the would-be interstate traveler !!.  In fact most
trackers, 
D700's D7's etc etc. all have at least two configs that can be setup, So 
users could possibly utilize a local zonen-n config and an interstate
travel

config being wide1-1,wide2-2 within their tracker etc.

Regards .. Andrew .. VK5EX
