Is there a more recent document?<br></div></blockquote></div><br>There's a much more useful _concept_ - the station icon. Using SSID to identify the station type might have been useful 25 years ago when an application not much more sophisticated than a dumb terminal was a common APRS interface. This is fortunately not the case any longer. Stations are much more sophisticated and the icon conveys the information at a glance, even if one happens to have, say, 2 airborne stations on the air (in the air) at the same time. There can be only one -11 per call, but there can be 16 /O stations for the same call.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">IMO using the SSID as a station identifier is a totally obsolete concept. I ignore it and look at the icon, or the characters representing it in the raw packet.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">-Jason<br>kg4wsv</div>
