Having said that Melbourne metro is without a digi and an igate at the moment, I am transferring my 70 cm igate on onto 2m tonight, it should be up later in the evening, Any reports would be appreciated. Look around 20:30, it should be up and testing then<br><br><br></div><div>On 31/01/2011, at 19:01, "Nik Presser" <<a href="mailto:nikp007@bigpond.com">nikp007@bigpond.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div><font face="Calibri" color="#0000ff">1. I see the default for WIDE1-1 WIDE2-1
on the TM-D710A is two hops. It looks like there was a bit of a network outage
or similar yesterday in Western VK3 for a few hours so I've changed the
radio to 3 hops. Does going to 3 hops put extra load on the network? Most of my
travel will be in VK3 and VK5. </font></div>

like an APRS 101 or APRS for Newbies at all? Either a VK or international
version would probably do. </font></div>
