think your preaching to the choir. The solution is not how to preach to the
choir but how to reach the congregation. :-D</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

The newbie in my finally figured out the trapping thingy (and it _was_ in the
standard I just missed it). What's funny is I've been doing it anyway.Now just
to get more people in my area to trap the excessive paths then Kansas doesn't
wind up in Iowa....Toto. ;-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=113502103-11042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Look, if
someone wants to screw with our APRS system, we really are not going to stop
them. Whatever we come up with to try to "trap" them, they will come up
with a way to get around our traps. So, lets not go there. I
assume that all of us Ham APRS Players are decent people and are not out to
try to destroy anything.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

trapping of bad paths in the new Paradigm APRS recommendations, is aimed at
trapping the unsuspecting new guy who either read some old out of date
material, or just does not know how to play the game yet. If they hit
one of our trapped paths, they will not go any further. These traps are
limited to 4 path settings in the KPC3+ digi TNC's. Those using
UI-Digi are able to trap a larger number of unwanted
paths.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=113502103-11042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Here in the
NW APRS Network, we have some pretty responsible players. No one has
ever abused the WIDE7-7 path, so we decided to not trap out that path.
We wanted to keep it so that if we have a major emergency and the entire
internet goes down, and we still need to get emergency transmission through
our entire network which goes beyond state and country borders, we have that
capability.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=113502103-11042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>So folks,
lets all play the APRS game, the way it is meant to be played. We have
one of the greatest assets of emergency communications that works and can
reach the masses with very little effort. Lets make sure we keep it that
way.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Re: [aprssig] Bad path for a plane<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Of course the guy
would just change his path to WIDE2-7,WIDE2-7. That would defeat all
the New WIDEn-N features. </BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
