<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body >Greetings, all. <div></div><div><br></div><div>I've got a question about vicinity plotting (i.e., guessing where a station is based on its first digipeater's position when the station hasn't reported its position yet).</div><div><br></div><div>Is it reasonable to do this in reverse, i.e., guessing where a first digipeater is, based on the position report of the digipeated station? Because stealth (non-beaconing) digipeaters are common in my area, I have implemented a first draft of this in my YAAC program.</div><div><br></div><div>I assume this needs to be improved, perhaps using direction-finding tricks such as guessing the digipeater has to be within the PHG range circles of all stations it has first-digipeated.</div><div><br></div><div>But should I be doing this kind of approximation at all?</div><div><br></div><div>Just curious.</div><div><br></div><div>Andrew, KA2DDO </div><div>(putting my asbestos shorts on now :-)</div></body></html>
