[aprssig] Digipeating with TM-D700A

[Ken Kinyon]

I have agreed to demonstrate some APRS software at a ham fest.  I will
however be inside a building.  I will be using a Laptop and TH-D7A.  I
thought I could configure the TM-D700A in my truck in the parking lot to
digipeat so I could receive some signals inside. To test it I set the UIDIGI
parameter in the D700 to relay and turned digipeat on.  T set the path in
the TH-D7 to relay, wide.  The D700  digipeats the TH-7's signal and it
shows up on Find-U.  However the D700 will not digipeat any one else's
signal so I can pick it up on the hand held and display it on the computer.
I imagine this is because I am not directly receiving anyone who has relay
in their path.  Is there a way that I could set the D700 to digipeat some of
the relay or wide stations in the area (Loveland Colorado) so something
besides the hand held and my truck will show up on the computer?.  I am
aware that this is going to add to the traffic, but it will be a short
duration demo.
Thanks,
Ken W7TS
