[Possible Spam]Re: Fw: [aprssig] APRS Monitoring and activity

[Tourge, Ryan R.]

If you where cohabitating on the same frequency it would allow others in
your coverage area and the station that digis you as RELAY you to get an
idea of what is "out there." Someone that monitored that frequency with
APRS software would have a dynamic map and/or list of stations in that
area. I guess I can understand you not wanting someone else to digi
through you, but you could still set your station to beacon via RELAY
and turn digipeating off. This would only require a small amount of
typing on your part but would help improve the "experience" for the
others. I think RELAY was picked as a carry over from APRS because most
stations will digipeat it.

I do beacon every 13 minutes using an unproto of WNLNK.  I do not share
a 
channel with
another node...makes the most sense to me.  Why would I need to use 
RELAY....I really do not want
anyone Relaying anything from my station on the same channel.  I am
missing 
the reason why the word RELAY is being suggested.
