<DIV><FONT face=Calibri color=#0000ff>No worries. After getting my 710A up and
running Fri night, there seemed to be a lot of activity and during Saturday
also. It all went quiet Sunday but ok on Monday & Tuesday - I think.

<DIV>Hi should only be two hops to the nearest igate. 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><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>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri color=#0000ff>2. Does anyone have a link to
something like an APRS 101 or APRS for Newbies at all? Either a VK or
international version would probably do. </FONT></DIV>
