As far as the dumb trackers go, I say don't sweat them. They'll either
get the word, or not.
It'd be nice if the dumb tracker config software defaulted to fairly
conservative settings though. WIDE2-2 and 5 minutes.

This is a good idea, but some of the messages will say "WIDE 5-5" every
15 seconds. We still need a set of reasonable and consistent
recommendations.

For someone who is static in one area, this will probably work, provided
they read the messages, and act on them.
For mobile users, who might be in your area for 10-30 minutes, this dosen't
work. I agree that the HamHud might be able to do this, but that's pretty
limiting, and mobile users aren't going to change their paths every few
minutes.
The real solution is to fix the digis so they all are RWT compatible.

You'll have a lot easier time getting one digi to change, than every mobile
that wanders through.

Does the Pharos compact flash card GPS have the right NEMA setting for use
in aprs? I am looking at one for my Jornada 720 and run the Doppler into the
second port on my Pico but am not sure its compatible.
Any help?

Currently we in Eastern (and surrounding) North Carolina are under a Severe
T-Storm Watch. I was curious why it didn't show up on APRS like all the
other advisories and warnings. Attached are three bulletins that I received
that outline the area that the watch covers.
I have some ideas, but I wanted to see if anyone could tell me why it didn't
show up.

Some day we'll get to pseudo path aliases like LOCAL, REGION, and WORLD that
complete remove the need for users to have to decipher the various regional
idiosyncrasies.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have an official four hop path of
(relay|digi|wide),WIDE3-3
and many of us are using the more conservative but entirely adequate path
of (),WIDE2-2.
I have a data mining script that runs daily to see how many unique "long path"
packets have been heard locally.
http://www.jnos.org/javAPRS/tnc/longpath.tnc
Since the number of packets and stations showing up on the list has been
decreasing, it reinforces the saying that what gets measured - get's
better.

The first two aren't parsable to anything in APRS
The last one was sent as:

}e0]FgcBS6:W{QFSAA
