[OZAPRS] Proposed new digi

[Andrew Rich]

A few months back I was approached by a group out west to help with a
telem
project.

You might see VK4RIL-7. It is a solar powered voice rprtr with an
opentracker.

The telem is low volume. Sends volts and temp.

To this day I am still surprised at how well it works and intergartes on
145.175 MHz.

If i was doing a digi, I would do the following

1. UI_DIGI
2. Beacon once an hour.
3. Beacon goes direct, not RELAY,WIDE
4. Telem would be fine as long as it was around 60 mins as well.

Cheers

Hi

Although, at present, not active on VHF APRS I am just the same a little
concerned about having non APRS traffic, Telemetry, on a dedicated
national
APRS frequency. I feel if one digi was to start doing so why could not
others and if some time in the future another digi or even an operator
decides that they want to do something similar, we may have difficulty in
saying no.

I would think that a digi to the north at the Sunshine Coast repeater site
would a preferred option.

Just something to think about.
