[arm-allstar] APRS

Mon Aug 20 11:11:12 EDT 2018

Yes Sir,

If your repeater follows the bandplan for offset then you do not need to specify it, but there is a way to do it. it is required if using non-standard splits.

See the examples in this file http://aprs.org/info/freqspec.txt

Danny, 

Thank you very much for that little tidbit of information!  I have gone and updated all my repeaters to the correct syntax.

I appreciate you offering up that information!

If you have the opportunity to transmit your APRS packet out to RF either directly or indirectly, please update your comment to follow the APRS Spec for QSY format.

from
comment = AllStar Node 46738 Monitor 443.875 pl 110.9

to

comment = 443.875MHz C110 AllStar Node 46738
^ if you are using CTCSS encode and decode

or

comment = 443.875MHz T110 AllStar Node 46738
^ if you are using PL decode only

Passers by with mobile radios equipped to decode this can then push a TUNE button and QSY to your repeater instantly. If you are only pushing to APRSIS then it doesn't matter because mobile radios out in the wild will never hear it.
