Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
The mag loop does have one major advantage.? It's so enormously hi-Q and narrow-banded that it acts as a pre-selector for the transceiver's receiver.? If you want to dedicate one radio to 30 or 40

working well even though band conditions show poor.? Tomorrow will move to the attic dipole which is lower and more NVIS to see how it does.

Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
Here is a question for the group. I have read conflicting explanations, but I will ask here. If a receive only igate receives my message to SMS, how is a reply to that message routed back to me?

Yes, I understand that, and noted it in my question, but how is that different to the the iGate not being there in the first place?

Funny how all the east coast folks use 30M. When every one out west uses 40M.

Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
I designed the new APRSdroid versions to specifically allow VARA usage without flooding the network. As you can disable acks, or simply reduce the number sent in a short time to duplicate messages

Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
Let me start by squashing a few things. WA8LMF is not correct here when it comes to VARA APRS. *On VHF APRS he's very correct in saying that receive only IGates break the system, because in reality it

Yep, internet and RF don't mix well together sometimes.? It's a problem with conventional packet networks too.? Node-lists containing almost literally 1000 nodes due to AXIP links and cavalier

How do they clog the RF channel if they're not transmitting? As you say, not they do not send an acknowledgement, but how is this any different to there not being a station there? I may, of course, be

Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
