[aprssig] APRS - ALL CALL and ROLL CALL

[Andrew Rich]

On thing we do in Mode S RADAR is ALL CALL and ROLL CALL.

Do you think this sort of thing has application in APRS ?

A smart digi sends a broadcast.

If a tracker is new to the digi, it acquires the target.

It then calls for a response from the tracker in a ROLL CALL ( poll )

  Hello

  Looking at making use of as much data as I can send over 19k2 EasyRadio modules.

  I would like to hear from the hardware guys how they handle the fact that not all NMEA strings seem the same.

  Some have fixed character lengths, and some have zero padding.

  How do you get around the fact you can't control what sort of GPS someone might hook up to a tracker ?

  How do you get by without having to specify a NMEA format that a devices complies with ?

  I have taken a GARMIN GPS18 as an example.
