What happens when your TH-D7 "goes to sleep"? Does it lock up or just stop taking the GPS data or stop TXing or what? The battery contacts in my GPS3 seem to be quite tight though there is some scope for stretching the contact springs a bit if it proves necessary. Maybe the new GPS3+ is not so good in this respect? 73, Simon. |

Fixed stations should NOT use RELAY in their unproto path, for theThe second paragraph contradicts the first a bit. Essentially when there are loads of stations about, fixed stations should use well located callsigns to get out of the area. If activity is up/down (or off/on as here) then RELAY has a better chance of getting out regularly. I hope to go to the Blackpool rally so there will be at least one RELAY digi around.

Re: Practical uses for UI-View
Brian Davies
Hi All
Many many thanks to all of you whom have sent me messages regarding my map problems on UI-View. I have been able to recognize that my problem has been the way I have tried to make the maps. The information sent by several of you have helped me enormously and I'm duly most grateful. Once again many thanks for all your help. 73 Brian G3OYU County Controller Surrey Raynet. |

As my bulletin is set up to send:" /M use RELAY,TRACE2- for the IGATE

Show quoted text
please", I'll explain. In this area, from the Wash right down to Kent, there are no "WIDE" digis, they all have the ability to TRACE. I run an IGATE (MB7UPG) alongside Keith G6NHU (MB7UIV) My beacon (and bulletins) go out to APRS,TRACE3-3 Anyone who hears my beacon can get into my IGATE by following a return path of RELAY,TRACE2-2 Keith will also hear this, so...... To be seen and workable through an IGATE in the east/south east whilst mobile use a path of RELAY,TRACE2-2 Hope this explains the thinking behind the bulletin 73.....Ciemon GTRT sysop MB7UPG IGATE g0trt@...

Re the data given above - either I was just starting off and the GPS3+ hadn't locked on which normally takes about 5 seconds or the TH-D7E had dozed off again! I make a point of pressing the power on/off every hour when out mobile and that seems to do the trick or so I thought. If your sample was last Sunday Dave then I would have been on the way back down the A1 to Ruislip and probably around Grantham which is about 1 hour out. Incidently for other GPS3+ users - there is a problem with the batteries not making good contact for which Garmin will issue a shim/wedge type thingy which solves the problem according to the Garmin website.

Connecting UI- View to an APRS server.
More problems i'm sorry to say (but life with out problems isn't a challenge!)
Anyway.... Is UI-View supposed to directly connect to an internet APRS server, or does the software require a interfacing software to do its thing. On my home PC, I can telnet into any of the default APRS servers that are shown in UI- View, but cannot seem to get the software to see the data comming up the screen. I have read all of the information on this from the helpfile, but to no avail. Any help apreciated. David J Walsh |

Re: Correct packet path whilst mobile.
From: "Steve Sampson" <ssampson@...>Hi Steve, How can you tell when mobile????!!!!! theat is why the accepted unproto path WHEN MOBILE is: RELAY,WIDE... that gives you the best chance of being relayed. Fixed stations should NOT use RELAY in their unproto path, for the reasons previously stated, BUT THEY ALL should have RELAY set as one of their ALIASES so that they digi mobiles sending to RELAY... If a fixed station cant get to a WIDE directly they should not use RELAY before the wide (unless local circumstances mean that there is no other path due to poor seting up in the area)they should put in the callsign of the intervening digi station. Also they might ask that station to set WIDE as an alias so that they see the traffic that they would otherwise miss! 73 Jeff G8HUL |

<brian_j_davies@...> writes From: Brian Davies <brian_j_davies@...> Brian, the generally accepted path (throughout the world) for MOBILE, repeat MOBILE, stations is to have RELAY as the first digi callsign in the UNPROTO path, and all FIXED stations should have at least one *ALIAS*; i.e. RELAY. Thus when a mobile passes in range of any fixed station anywhere, the mobile's signal will be relayed by the fixed station. Regarding any digi callsigns following RELAY in the MOBILE's UNPROTO path, most people (throughout the world) seem to use WIDE, but that isn't obligatory. It depends on the network around the fixed station -- if there isn't another station in range of the fixed station that recognizes WIDE, the mobile signal won't get any further. Don't confuse a FIXED station's ALIAS(es) with its UNPROTO digi path. The ALIAS(es) specify what callsigns it is *listening* for. The UNPROTO path specifies the path it *transmits* to. The UNPROTO path of a FIXED station should not contain RELAY (for the reasons mentioned by the other person above).

Here's how to find your correct digi path:

1. Can you hear the WIDE node? 2. Can the WIDE node hear you? If the answer to 1 or 2 is no, then you need a RELAY. Have fun, Steve ----- Original Message -----
Please can someone who knows what they are talking about - and are known toI only write the program... What digi aliases you should use is an APRS thing, unrelated to any particular software application. |

<brian_j_davies@...> writes From: Brian Davies <brian_j_davies@...>That's the one I use. The second edition, sometimes given away as a magazine cover CD, is equally accurate. Make sure you run it full screen when you make maps, and, if you're using Win95 or later, first hide the Windows task bar, so it really does go full screen.

Fixed stations should NOT use RELAY anywhere in the path (execptin exceptional circumstances) because this will generate a LOT of QRM. This happens because EVERY station should respond to RELAY. < Hi All I'm confused! Not difficult to do that I hear you say! I was recommended to use RELAY, WIDE...................
