TAPR APRS list seems to have come to a slow crawl lately, maybe some of the
members who are interested in new APRS development want to join our NW APRS SIG
and follow the development of 9600 baud APRS.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=428142219-25092006>Bellow is a
message of a discussion we have been having for about a month now on 9600 baud
UHF APRS that we are experimenting with on the NW APRS Group Network. It
looks like we are coming up with another innovative more efficient APRS
network. Maybe those of you who are innovative and curious on helping to
pioneer a more efficient APRS Network should subscribe to our list to follow our
development. Maybe some other congested areas want to give 9600 baud a
try. I am sure Bob King K7OFT would be more than willing to help you get
started.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

nwaprssig@nwaprs.info<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [nwaprssig] D700 UHF APRS
DIGI<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Thanks to both Bob and Scott for their efforts. We're
breaking new ground here. Far as I know, there is no other APRS interest group
with a 9600 baud UHF activity. The plan to expand the system here in Spokane is
coming along. I'm still looking for a home for the 9600b digi. It needs to be
mountaintop or tower top somewhere near Spokane. <BR><BR>I think we have the
digi settings all worked out. We'll leave them on the wiki pages, but I will
duplicate them to the website shortly, now that we have settings ironed out.
This is critical with using a D700 as a remote digi, because unlike the KPC-3,
there is no remote connect to make further changes. It would take another trip
to the hill for those changes. <BR><BR>Come on Portland OR and Vancouver BC, any
interest in your neck of the woods?<BR><BR>Let's spread this good stuff faster
than the bird flu!<BR><BR>David<BR><BR>

not sure, but Scott may have been referring to the original file we used<BR>to
set up the D700 on UBALDI. That file is stored on my home computer
and<BR>my laptop. It has been modified to correct for the BEACON E
15 error. It <BR>has been changed to BEACON E 90.<BR><BR>By the
way, I did some testing with the D700 DIGI on Baldi to test
the<BR>decrementing feature of WIDEn-N. The results of the testing
show that the<BR>D700 DOES indeed decrement a WIDEn-N packet. And
that was done with the TNC <BR>set in the configuration shown on the wiki
page. I would encourage others<BR>to verify this.<BR><BR>The test
that Scott just finished this weekend when he traveled to Eastern<BR>Wa. and
earlier tests I have done in Eastern Wa and Puget Sound, and <BR>comments from
others taking up 440.875MHz 9600 Baud operations here should<BR>once and for
all put away the commonly held notion that you need super<BR>strong signals to
work 9600 Baud. It is simply not true. My field tests
<BR>indicate that 9k6 works as well as and in certain situations, better
than<BR>1k2 operations. Give it a try!<BR><BR>Scott, thanks for
putting the APRS 9k6 Baud DIGI on Baldi. It will<BR>certainly open
lots of eyes.<BR><BR>Bob
