<DIV>What is the significance of the APN prefix? I see that APNK01 is "another" D700 TOCALL. Does APNxx imply "Network nodes, digis, etc" for everyting with that three letter prefix? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SO... </DIV>
<DIV>Set up a D700 as a digi, change the TOCALL to APNK01...?</DIV>
<DIV>Set up a D7 as a digi, change the TOCALL to APNK00...?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Set up a D710 as a digi, change the TOCALL to APNK02...?</DIV>
<DIV>Set up a D72 as a digi, change the TOCALL to APNK03...?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Like that?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>...and...</DIV>
<DIV>Is this a typo: APR102 Kenwood D710 "R" ??<BR></DIV>
