  1. APRS Ad-hoc Networks Appalachian Event 24 Jul 2011

  2. APRS Digipeating 101 Digipeating concept:

  3. National Digi Infrastructure But sometimes they are down, or you need an ad-hoc network

  4. All of these radios can digipeat!Anytime, anywhere Do we want them to? NO! Horendous QRM on channel Impossible to control Absentee operators Never read their messages! Do we want them to?YES! but only when we need it (under our user control)

  5. APRS Digipeating 101 Digipeating Mechanisms: MYCALL – APRS VIA WB4APR… APRS,WB4APR* every TNC MYALIAS – APRS VIA RELAY… APRS,RELAY* every TNC ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UIDIGI - APRS VIA MOBILE… APRS,WB4APR-9* Call substitution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UITRACE – APRS VIA WIDE3-3… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE3-2 Decrements N & trace UIFLOOD – APRS VIA MDC3-3… APRS,MDC3-2 Decrements N UIFLOOD (ID enabled)APRS,DIGIL,MDC3-2 Decrements N inserts call of last digi only UIFLOOD (FIRST kenwood) APRS,DIGI1,MDC3-2 Decrements N inserts call of first digi 1978 1980 NetRom, TheNet => Beacons/ Digipeating illegal 1995 1998

  6. APRS Digipeating 102 How we use these capabilities for APRS: Universal path for fixed stations, VIA WIDE2-2 For Mobiles VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 MYCALL – APRS VIA WB4APR-9,WIDE2-2… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE2-2 anytime MYALIAS – APRS VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2… APRS,WIDE1-1*,WIDE2-2 untracable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UIDIGI - APRS VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE2-2 dupes UITRACE – APRS VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE1*,WIDE2-1 *** UIFLOOD – APRS VIA MDC3-3… APRS,MDC3-2 local

  7. APRS Digipeating 102 How we use these capabilities for APRS: Universal path for fixed stations, VIA WIDE2-2 For Mobiles VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1

  8. APRS Digipeating Why do we keep N to 2 or less? UITRACE – APRS VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE1*,WIDE2-1 ***

  9. APRS Digipeating Why do we keep N to 2 or less? UITRACE – APRS VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE1*,WIDE2-1 ***

  10. SSn-N digipeating Using the path of MD6-6 hits every digi in Maryland only 120 dupes vs 15 copies desired

  11. APRS Digipeating Proportional Pathing! Every other packet is simplex direct. Every other is 1 hop. Every 4th is 2 hops

  12. APRS TEMPn-N Digipeating How to use for IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY USE?: EVERY MOBILE and or Emergency back up system should always support TEMPn-N digipeating MYCALL – APRS VIA WB4APR-9,WIDE2-2… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE2-2 anytime MYALIAS – APRS VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2… APRS,WIDE1-1*,WIDE2-2 untracable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UITRACE – APRS VIA TEMP1-1,WIDE2-1… APRS,WB4APR-9*,TEMP1*,WIDE2-1 *** UIFLOOD – APRS VIA TEMP7-7… APRS,TEMP7-6 local

  13. APRS Ad-hoc Networks East Coast Backbone

  14. Annual Golden Packet Event Appalachian Event 24 Jul 2011

  15. Annual Golden Packet Event

  16. Annual Golden Packet Event Simple digipeater node

  17. Annual Golden Packet Event Power is the issue

  18. APRS HOPn-N Digipeating For the AT Golden Packet Event, we supported 2 paths: HOPn-N (non tracing): arrived as DIGIx,HOP7-1 TEMPn-N (Tracing): arrived as DIGI1,DIGI2,DIGI3,etc GOLDEN packets used HOP7-7,HOP7-7 to make it 15 stations end to end TEST packets used the minimum TEMPn-N to trace their neighbors. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UITRACE TEMP - The actual TNC command to set up TEMPn-N support UIFLOOD HOP –The actual TNC command to set up HOPn-N support

  31. Annual Golden Packet Event My site. Gov’ Dick Hill

  32. Annual Golden Packet Event Lots of hardware to lift

  33. Annual Golden Packet Event

  34. Highest is NOT best!

  35. Highest is NOT Best!

  36. Highest is NOT Best!

  37. Annual Golden Packet Event Sam’s Point used D72 HT (also Mt Wash)

  38. Mountain Top RFI! Sam’s Point used D72 HT (also Mt Wash)

  39. RF Link Analysis Tool (free) KX4O John Huggins did all analysis

  40. Appalachian Trail Golden Packet KX4O John Huggins Complete RF Link Analysis! 40

  41. RF Link Analysis Tool (free) Also shows statistics. Here is a -10 dB and +10 dB link But it worked for me!

  42. Annual Golden Packet Event Katahdin KA1YBS climbed a mile straight up

  43. APRS TEMPn-N Digipeating How to use for IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY USE?: EVERY MOBILE and or Emergency back up system should always support TEMPn-N digipeating MYCALL – APRS VIA WB4APR-9,WIDE2-2… APRS,WB4APR-9*,WIDE2-2 anytime MYALIAS – APRS VIA WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2… APRS,WIDE1-1*,WIDE2-2 untracable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UITRACE – APRS VIA TEMP1-1,WIDE2-1… APRS,WB4APR-9*,TEMP1*,WIDE2-1 *** UIFLOOD – APRS VIA TEMP7-7… APRS,TEMP7-6 local
