APRS PATH



Automatic Packet Reporting System
Digi PATH

Recommended settings under the WIDEn-n Paradigm:

  • WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1 - [Recommend mobile setting.] Produces two hops and will take advantage of fill-in digis. Use in busy urban and suburban areas.
  • WIDE2-2 - [Recommended fixed station setting.] Shortest path string. Produces two hops by directly using two high-level digis. Will work almost anywhere but especially recommended in the American west where high-level digipeaters are really high-level; i.e. on mountain tops thousands of feet above users, and can easily be reached directly without the help of home stations.
  • WIDE1-1, WIDE2-2 - [Mobile use only when in very remote areas.] Produces three hops and will take advantage of fill-in digis. Use in rural areas with low APRS activity only.
