I made so many typos in my recommendation for the UIDIGI
algorithm, that it is best to re-state it. Also, I added it to the
main APRS recommendations on:
http://web.usna.navy.mil/~bruninga/aprs/digi-rates.txt
*** FOR UIDIG ROMS that only have 3 PATH OPTIONS:
#1 DIRECT every 30 mins starting at 10
#2 VIA WIDE every 30 mins starting at 20
#3 VIA WIDE2-2 every 60 mins starting at 0
That will get you a local packet every 10 mins, a WIDE
every 30, and a WIDE2-2 every hour on the hour.
The only problem is that once every hour on the halfhour,
you wont get one. But 5 out of 6 ain't bad. And if you are
a local sysop for more than one, and keep their clocks
reasonably close, then #3 on half the digis you can make
"at 30" and the other one "at 0" so that the hour-one from
one digi comes out when the other digi is missing one... etc...
