Re: APRS Tactical Messages

Alex,

?

Thank you for such a quick reply. I use SmartBeaconing so it is kind of complicated but not.

?

In short,

  • If I physically move it updates every 5 minutes or every 5 miles.

The goal here is not to beacon so frequently that I never stop beaconing. Right now, your 15 second beacon is likely just constantly sending data and never listening if it’s connected to RF.

  • If I’m not moving, every 30 minutes or so.

?

I like to error on the more frequent beacon but understand that it defeats the system if I beacon too much.

?

The SmartBeacon adds a little logic? which I have set like this: I am 5 miles or 5 minutes which ever comes first, when not moving 30 minutes.

?

Hope that helps,

?

73,

Good day Alex,

?

In the last few weeks, I (we) have noticed lots of APRS tactical messages from you.

?

It appears that you are sending your digipeater beacon every minute as well as SARTrack with a beacon every 15 seconds.

?

Remember that APRS relies on multiple radios and systems to rebroadcast your data. This means that your beacons are flooding the network with little to no real ability to be propagated with other traffic.

?

Would you be willing to adjust your settings to fall in line with a best practice APRS configuration. Your tactical messages are being received worldwide.

?

Thank in advance for your consideration,

?
