<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi, Bob.<br><br>Sorry, error on my part. It was overlaying \a (not \&) that was the problem. You suggested Da for Dutch ARES, but that overlay is already being used for D-star repeater objects (look up objects AA3A A, AA3A AD, etc., as examples).<br><br>This was in your document <a href="http://www.aprs.org/symbols/symbols-new.txt" target="_blank">http://www.aprs.org/symbols/symbols-new.txt</a><br><br>And you still didn't include the fish in your new proposal. :-) More likely to track them than torpedos. Suggest Fs for fish and Ws for whales.<br><br>Andrew, KA2DDO<br><br><div>> From: bruninga@usna.edu<br>> Date: Mon, 19 May 2014 19:59:58 -0400<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> Subject: Re: [aprssig] APRS Symbol Updates 2014! (corrected!)<br>> <br>> > Will this be fully backwards-compatible with the existing symbol set?<br>> <br>> Should be, But I was WRONG. There is nothing wrong with the \O for rocket<br>> and \g for glider. They exist, and no reason to change. I will remove<br>> them from my proposed changes....<br>> <br>> So here is what this email should have said:<br>> <br>> AIRCRAFT<br>> /^ = LARGE Aircraft<br>> \^ = top-view originally intended to point in direction of flight<br>> D^ = Drone<br>> E^ = Enemy aircraft (too bad I cant use the original Hostile)<br>> H^ = Hovercraft (new may 2014)<br>> J^ = JET (new may 2014)<br>> M^ = Missile (new may 2014)<br>> V^ = Vertical takeoff (new may 2014)<br>> <br>> >. There were some problems with your currently posted APRS 1.2 proposed<br>> extended symbols that conflicted with existing usages (ex.: D-star<br>> gateways as D&).<br>> <br>> Can you remind me of this problem? Ill go see what I can find.<br>> Bob<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> aprssig mailing list<br>> aprssig@tapr.org<br>> http://www.tapr.org/mailman/listinfo/aprssig<br></div> </div></body>
