Re: APRS Tactical Messages

Hi, Alex.

I'm Andrew, KA2DDO, the author of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"). This mailing list may not be able to give you the best advice regarding SARTrack configuration, so you may want to email Bart ZL4FOX (the author of SARTrack) at support@... and see if he can help you. I don't know if Bart has a mailing list.

Another good mailing list is [email protected] which is a general list for all things APRS.

The website https://how.aprs.works has good fundamental information about APRS, so you can be a good netizen on the APRS net.

Also, I wrote up a somewhat long article on basic concepts of APRS that you might find useful to read now that you are on the YAAC mailing list. You can find it here: /g/yaac-users/message/102

Welcome to the APRS party, and take your time figuring things out and adding new features.

Andrew, KA2DDO

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,

?
