Beacon "Comment" Question
Greetings YAAC Braintrust,
On every APRS station that I have using YAAC as a client within the comment of the beacon there is a ",/W" in front of the text (). This does not affect any of the operations of the beacon from what I can see. This text is obviously not present within the YAAC beacon tab, however I can see it within Direwolf transmit beacons which of course makes it to APRS.fi too. Anybody have information on what this is and is purpose? Here is some station information which came from the one linked above. 1) YAAC Version 1.0-beta198(21-May-2024) ????? a) Port 1: AGWPE ????????? Direwolf Beacon: [0L] WA5SON-2>APJYC1,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1:/123300h2957.21N/09616.88W#,/W1 ?wa5son@...<0x0d> ????? b) Port 2: APRSIS 2) OS: Raspbian 11 (Bullseye) 3) Kernel: Linux 6.1.21-v8+ 73 Brian WA5SON Hockley, TX |

开云体育More specifically to answer the otiginal poster's question:
The /W1 (the "1" is part of it) indicates that the station sending the beacon is configured as a WIDE1-1 fill-in digipeater. Additional abbreviations would be inserted with delimiting commas if your station supported more New-N
aliases, such as ",MD7" if your station would digi for the state-wide Maryland-only alias.
Hope that helps.
