<P align=left>I plan on using the D7's in search and rescue. I thought that
putting SPCL in the group code (Unprotocol), the D7 would only "Hear" the other
stations with the same code. I quote from the manual :"Enter “SPCL”. You will
receive only APRS packets that include SPCL as a Group Code."</P>
<P align=left>The use in SAR is that the teams can see how close and what
direction the other teams are. The problem in Southern California is that there
are very many other stations and the list in the D7 gets so long it becomes
quite a pain to find the other stations in the list. I set up a couple of D7's
with the Group Code of SPCL but the D7 still hears everybody. </P>
<P align=left>What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to filter the D7
beacons?</P>
<P align=left>The Group Code does me no good in UI-View as it seems to not be
supported as a filter. I end using the callsign in the exclusions list in the
form "!TEAM*" to only include calls that start with TEAM.</P>
