ID'ing

   I can give you an example.

   This morning Pete, VK4KHP-9 was inbound from ipswich. He was digied by
heaps
   of digi's.

   And the VK4OG decided to "re-inject" from INET back onto RF his
position
   once again.

   So now we have double the traffic in an already non-synchronised
network.

   Peter's mobile was having trouble getting through at all.

   As for digi idents, what a mess. If all you like listening to is digi
idents
   .... help yourself.

   VK4IE-3 has a three second key up on his weather station, and findu
reports
   his station as having one of the highest packet error rates.

   Gone to the dogs.

   What happened to VK4RGC-3 and where did VK4RGO-3 come from ?

     Hi Andrew
     What is new?
     Really nothing at all has been like this for some years now cannot
     understand why you being one of the most active on 2m APRS have not
     noticed
     this before this is exactly why I and others in SEQ either dropped
out
     APRS
     totally or like myself migrated to HF. I have given up on VHF locally
for
     a
     few years now. What you have stated below is nothing new at all and
you
     should add another
     8. Poor setting of parameters in digpeaters and personal beacons etc
just
     listen the digi's repeating one another and often going round and
round
     repeating the same beacon.
     We tried years ago to fix this problem as we could see what was going
to
     happen but few would cooperate here in SEQ most of those who tried
then
     have
     now given it away.
     Until you get that cooperation you have Buckleys chance of
establishing
a
     good VHF APRS network in SEQ, we gave up Good Luck.

     Andrews previous traffic read:-
     SEQLD APRS has fallen in a heap
     We have
     1. Stations with 3 second transmit delays
     2. No co-ordination of digi placement
     3. A station re-transmitting all the VK4 traffic back into the on air
     Network.
     4. Mobile stations are struggling to get out, on what was once a
quiet
net
     5. Short time spans between digi idents.
     6. Weather stations transmitting errors
     7. A station can be heard keying up and "reading out" callsigns -
must
be
     Using VOX and talking UI-view
