[OZAPRS] VK3 Draft Guide for APRS Parameters

[Ron Perry]

Hi all,
I do accept that what Richard is proposing for VK3 would work for VK3,
however I do believe that it would be much more sensible that the
recommended National Mobile Path should be:
APRS v WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2

This would work for all users even in VK3, and would be modified by
education later if needed.
Home stations: APRS v WIDE3-3

IMHO we need recommend one path that fits all, that will work out of the
box.

If it isn't those above...then what should it be?

Regards,
Ron

with well estabilshed IGates so 2 hops works well. In other areas such as
VK7 or VK4 this may not be the case and they may need 3 or  4 hops.
