[OZAPRS] New Paradigim

[Robert Thirkettle]

Hi All We here in Canterbury have fully changed last month to wide1-1,
and wide3-3

The idea behind widee1-1 as it is for mobiles only it allows old TNC's
to still act as relay digi's when they don't support APRS functions it
can be inserted as a callsign in the alias parameter and the next proper
APRS station will still relay the packet or if a APRS digi sees it first
it won't change how the packet is then handled it is an improvement over
the relay wide situation.

I use wide1-1,wid2-2 for my mobile and wide3-3 for my base this seams to
work well.

I wondered 'bout that too....

Incidentally my APRS digi (VK5ATN-1) at Balaklava Heights now uses an 
alias of wide1-1  in the furtherance of the new 'rules'.  SA users (and 
interstate visitors of course) should include this in their path if they

wish to be relayed when travelling through the northern Adelaide plains 
and up to the Snowtown - Paskeville area.   I think this is the only 
non-intelligent digi in this part of the world (poor old simple KPC-3), 
but it works for me, and I don't mind sharing it.
