<pre wrap="">K6SOA is a D-Star repeater system. It is made up of 4 repeaters colocated
in one facility. It's no surprise then that your will see 4 objects each
giving specific informations about the 4 individual repeaters:
K6SOA-S>APJID2,TCPIP*,qAC,K6SOA-GS:;K6SOA A *142031z3333.00ND11745.30WaRNG0060 1.2 Voice 1282.600 -12MHz
K6SOA-S>APJID2,TCPIP*,qAC,K6SOA-GS:;K6SOA AD*202017z3333.00ND11745.30WaRNG0060 1.2 Data 1299.900
K6SOA-S>APJID2,TCPIP*,qAC,K6SOA-GS:;K6SOA B *180247z3333.00ND11745.30WaRNG0060 440 Voice 445.660 +5MHz
K6SOA-S>APJID2,TCPIP*,qAC,K6SOA-GS:;K6SOA C *191208z3333.00ND11745.30WaRNG0060 2m Voice 146.115 +0.600 MHz
The purpose of these objects is two fold: 1) it provides indication as to
the health of the system and 2) it provides valuable information to
potential users regarding location and frequency.
Almost all D-Star systems connected to the Internet are doing the same.
Hope that will help.

1) I realize that. However, beaconing SEVEN icons at the exact same
coordinates at the same time causes them to all be piled up on top of
each other, so that only ONE is visible on a map display. At least if
they were beaconed at staggered times (perhaps 5 minutes apart), users
might have a chance to see all of them. <br>
<br>
If these were beaconed on RF, the same thing applies - the first three
in the sequence above will blink for just an instant on a D700/D710
screen before disappearing. The user will probably never even notice
them. <br>
<br>
2) The repeater offset on the UHF repeater is IMPOSSIBLE! If the
D710 autotune actually processed this, you would be transmitting .66
MHz outside the UHF ham band. <br>
