I use the Btext to tell the world that I am using UI-VIEW:-
!5400.55N/00132.37W-UI-VIEW - Ken in Harrogate
All another station has to do is double click on my icon and they can see
that I
am using UI-VIEW. This allows me to maintain a degree of compatibility in
the
Unproto path with APRS, hopefully with mutual benefits to both systems.
Yes, that's a good idea. I have been thinking about formalise something
like that. My idea is to add to the Station Setup an option for the
program to automatically add something like {UIV06} to the end of the
BTEXT. That will identify UI-View users, show the program version, be
easy to check for automatically, and shouldn't give APRS users a
problem. It would allow UI-View users to be automatically identified on
the maps - say with a different colour callsign label - and in the
Station List.
I wonder what people think about that?
