Re: Is this emergency??? 505 in Lat and Lon??


 

From:



BTEXT ;FFF.FFxyz*111111zDDMM.hhN/DDDMM.hhWrTnnn RXXm NETxxxxxx MTGxxxxx .........

BTEXT ;FFF.FFxyz*111111zDDMM.hhN/DDDMM.hhWrTnnn oXXX NETxxxxxx MTGxxxxx Rxxm .....



Where ;FFF.FFxyz is the frequency, and "xyz" are optional local unique characters
? ? or ? ? ;FFF.FF5yz for 5 KHz repeaters and "yz" is one of over 3600 unique characters A-z, 0-9
? ? or ? ? Example "xyz"s might be -IA for Iowa, -A for Atlanta, *SD for SanDiego, etc
Where *111111z is the pseudo default null Date-Time field for the OBJECT format
Where DDMM.hhN/DDDMM.hhWr is the LAT/LONG and "r" symbol for a voice repeater
Where Tnnn is the tone in Hz (without tenths)
Where oXXX is +xxx or -xxx offset in 10's of KHz
Where RXXm is the range in Miles (if standard offset is used)
Where Netxxxxxx is the local weekly net time (if any)
Where Mtgyyyyy is the monthly club meeting time (if any)
Where ... are 9 more bytes of optional text that will not be displayed on most mobiles but are visible on other clients


You can see that the OBJECT name is too long causing problems with decoding the packet.

That would be a corrupted packet coming from this source:

Why would 505 represent an emergency?

Looks more like a corrupted object packet that is trying to say ??5 degrees 05.39 minutes west for a repeater whose tone is 114.8 and operates under the callsign N7ELY, but I'd need more detail from the packet than that APRSdroid screen capture is showing.
