VK6 FUN with Packet Radio: September 2009

The KPC 9612 TNC is being used to implement telemetry-capable, PARADIGM-compliant digipeaters in Western Australia.

Here's the configuration template being used to program them.

Note that using WAn-N in your path will produce the same results as WIDE used to do without tracing.

The new PARADIGM configuration means that WIDE now performs the same function as TRACE used to, and that the digi's no longer respond to TRACE at all.

Recommended paths are now:

Home stations VIA WIDE2-2

Mobile stations VIA WIDE1-1, WIDE2-2

Special Events VIA WIDE1-1,WAn-N

Home stations should digipeat the alias of WIDE1-1 this is the same as the old RELAY.
