APRS setup information from http://www.billdiaz.dynip.com/aprs_info.htm

A number of APRS users frequently incorrectly configure their APRS trackers, fixed stations, digipeaters and client applications. Some well meaning users are compounding the problem by providing “expert” advice to newbies. This “expert” advice has caused trackers to become inoperative, and has clogged 144.39MHZ due to excessive and totally inappropriate paths. Poor APRS operating practices not only affect our local area, but adversely impact users hundreds of miles away. Poor operating practices can cause the network to fail when we need it most, during emergencies such as SkyWarn etc.

Just thought I would give you a heads up on this. I am taking a very large trailer load of surplus electronics to the Last Saturday Sale at Kcomm tomorrow the 25th. ALL of it will be sold for $1.00 Per pound. I tried this last week at the Belton Hamfest and it was a huge hit.

DMM, Scopes, Signal Generators- Older Tube type gear, Military Radios, Transit Cases even WWII ammo Cans.

I am posting it on Craig’s List as well. Feel free to pass it on to the loacal ham network.

Thanks
