Kiosk Text: Msg ?INFO to $CALLSIGN for commands (Don't really know what this
does even after reading instructions)
Enable Broadcast is checked
Default Path is WIDE2-1
All I really want this to do is locate the K8BF FD site location.
If all you want to do is make the site show up on other users' maps, then you
don't even need Info-Kiosk.
Just create an APRS object; something UIview can do without any add-ons. [An
"Object" is a position report originated by a station for a location other than
it's own.]
1) Locate the FD location on your UIview map and double-click it.
2) Press "F5" to open the Object Editor.
3) Enter the Identifier (i.e. virtual "callsign" of the object) It must follow
the usual limitations for an APRS callsign - max of 8 characters).
4) Add any comment desired.
5) Choose an APRS symbol. (Usually the "campground" tent icon is used for FD
sites.)
Check "Active Object" and "OK" out.
DONE!
Go to "Setup, Miscellaneous" and set the desired interval for object beacons.
