wireless networks. I assume the acronym is the same for APRS/Packet and it
distiguishes between nodes with the same callsign. This way you can
operate more than one station (node) on the APRS network under the same
callsign while still keeping them unique.</SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV>The thing about using SSIDs is that you never know if they actually
mean</DIV>
<DIV>anything, so it's still a guessing game. I say just use
them as secondary</DIV>
<DIV>station identifiers and carry other information elsewhere.</DIV>

<DIV>> I also believe that we need a standard for the SSID's what ever
it may</DIV>
<DIV>> be. I know there are a number of stations out there
that support many</DIV>
<DIV>> digi's with there calls on them. so there will be stations using
ssid's</DIV>
<DIV>> that dont conform but most will have the proper icon with
them. so if we</DIV>
<DIV>> set up 2 ssids for mobile use 1 for TX and 1 for
RX then we will know</DIV>
<DIV>who</DIV>
<DIV>> could or could not accept a message.</DIV>
<DIV>> My thoughts</DIV>
