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,

?

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,

Jamie, I just uninstalled SARTrack to learn before (VHF-3) and checked?VHF-1 that is running?esp32igate, with this configuration below:

VHF-1 is digi and igate.

For DIGI, which path is better? WIDE-2-2? And what about the beacon interval? Is it fine?

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

Thank you very?much, Andrew! I did know yaac yet, but I will learn about it. I came here to ask apologies about my issues and learn more about. I started my aprs station in 99' with bob bruninga but stayed about 23 years without aprs station and now I am discovering more aprs clients.?

73!
