<div>Ah ha! Figured it was something like that, I'll what can be cobbled in and see how it goes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Minor hiccup - the GM300 that I was going to use has just dropped dead:-(</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll have to get it running or replaced as I had hoped to get this all ready for install by the SARCFest (August 8th).</div>

<br>The extra S after Latitude causes a green star with the letter S to be displayed as the digi icon.<br><br>Beacons 1 and 2 are identical except for the path. Beacon 1 has no path set so it is not transmitted beyond the local digi. Beacons 2 and 3 have a path of WIDE2-2 so that the beacon will be digied over two hops.<br>
<br>Beacon 3 is reporting the frequency and offset (146.875-), time, location and range of the local voice repeater. The series of 1's indicates that time is not set<br><br>Howzat?<br><br>Ray vk2tv
