APRS DESTINATIONS and paths
- APRS packets may be sent to a specific callsign, groups of callsigns, or to all stations in the vicinity.
- The “path” is an instruction to digipeaters and iGates for how to route the packet to get to its destination.
- A typical path format is WIDEn-n.
- This path allows for the packet to be retransmitted ‘n’ times.
- For example, WIDE2-2 would allow the packet to be retransmitted twice.
- You can also explicitly name a station in your path, such as YUCCA,WIDE2-2 if desired.
- Due to congestion on 144.390, do not use paths longer than WIDE3-3!
