I just had a thought about stopping parked cars from beaconing all day... A car with a GPS turned off and a tracker left on will beacon the same position all day long. Since it would make the same packet over and over again, why not set the dupe timer on the digipeaters to as long as possible... 255 seconds, right? The only caveat to this is that messages get sent 3 times in the first minute, and while the first copy of a message stands a chance at getting digipeated the 2nd thru 5th copies wouldn't. Just a though to at least halve the rate parked cars beacon at. Plus, it's been mighty quiet here. (we have to raise the noise floor a little to run Ev off again!!!j/k) Wes
