<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Already done. Just run APRSIS32 and
set the following:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">View / None - Get rid of everything</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">View / Transport / Digipeater - Shows
all stations that have digipeated</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Screen / PHG Range Circles / Full or
Half</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">And if you want to see them darker,
just crank up the opacity number in Screen / PHG Range Circles /
Opacity</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Of course, this relies on all the
digipeaters actually including valid PHG information.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">For instance, here's central Florida
with 1/2 sized circles (good coverage for mobiles). And you can
see why tracking from Melbourne (WX4MLB-3, just north of ME) to
Orlando (west of K4EOC) takes you through an APRS RF dead zone.
As is most of the I-95 corridor up through Daytona Beach. K4EOC
is actually a digi, but doesn't beacon PHG information.<br>

<div>This is not to say APRS is not underutilized
along with most other forms of amateur radio,
but I'd rather leave the discussion of the
reasons that is to others. The concept of APRS
is a very, very powerful system. As Bob has been
saying for how many years, it just needs to be
thought of as something more than just location
tracking.</div>
