Or, do what I did and spend about $20 on one of the sleek, ROUND IDE
cables! Better air flow, and they look good, too.

If I set the transmit PL to 100 will it send pl with posit from the tnc?

Just switched to PAPRS 1.94 and now all messages received are echoed with
no "to" instead of sending an ack back to the station that sent the message
to me. See findu message listing for k4coe for examples.
Any thoughts? What setting is different from 1.20 to cause this?

Hello all-
Wxsvr has been sending a compressed packet along with the normal
multiple area packets for over a year. At the present time Aprs+,
xastir, and Ui-view support this new format. In order to clean up the
datastream, I will be terminating the uncompressed multiple area
packets July 1st. The majority of these occur in the winter months,
where vast areas can be put under winter weather watches and warnings.
The other large area bulletin makers are flood advisories. In the
winter months the multiple area packets can be as much as 60 per cent of
the output of Wxsvr- a waste of bandwidth on the rf side.
This has no effect on "short fuse" bulletins such as tornadoes, severe
thunderstorms etc. which fit into one packet already.
See:
http://wxsvr.net/Compressed_Format.html

Yes, it will send PL also on the packets. That is how other people konw
you are in voice simplex range, because then they will hear your packet.

Unfortunately, if everyone does this, it's the same as listening to the
packet channel in it's normal mode. I can only do that for about 1 minute
before I turn off the speaker!! Thus transmitting a 100Hz PL with the
normal packet traffic negates the entire value of listening on 144.39 with
the PL squelching out all but voice traffic.

Indeed, the success of Voice Alert depends on it not becoming very
popular.

?PL with Packets:
re: Bob's "Yes" and Jim's "yeah - but"
Thanks to both.
When I was in San Jose, I agree with Jim that would have been intolerably
annoying. Even though HSV, AL is 'high tech' we can still get us all
readably plotted on the middle zoom of a Findu MapBlast, so it might be
acceptable. I'll let you know what the feedback is after I run it for a
while. Tim C. won't be bashful ;-)

I have been running voice alert on my D-700 since it was first suggested.
I have traveled all over the eastern US from Florida to Vermont. I have
used it to make contact with other hams a few times but it has never been a
problem. I heard more packets this last week end than ever before. I
looked at list and found a fellow ham was 3 miles ahead of me on the
interstate for about 20 miles. Don't knock it till you try it.

FYI:
There is/was a problem during the tornado outbreak caused by a flurry of
objects posted with a "#" as part of the object name/label. MapBlast
cannot handle that character in the list of nearby 'stations' sent by
Findu. Steve (and Dale) are on top of it. The last one (latest one that I
saw) should have aged off the 10 day (240 hour) findu listing around the
24th or 25th.
When/if it happens, just edit the URL that comes back with the error
message and delete the offending object and its comma.

Dave.
I think we are saying the same thing. The original query concerned an
individual sending a pl with his normal position packets.

Of course if everyone did that, there would be no need to have pl on voice
for the voice alert system to work since we would all be listening to
all of the 'packet racket' waiting for a voice signal.
