[aprssig] d710 WIDE1-1 setup?

[Michael J. Wolthuis]

Cap,

Thanks, but it doesn't fit the model.  We have all our Search and Rescue HTs
set to use WIDE1-1 as their first jump and all mobiles digi on WIDE1-1.
They are all d700s.  I want to duplicate that functionality with my d710.
Sorry I was not clear.

 

I'm not sure I understand your information about reducing the number of hops
requested in your digipath settings?  What are your referring too?  We
recommend all users run WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 in Michigan.  Did I miss something?
I thought that was the standard when digi coverage is good.

For only _your_ HT  to digipeat thru, you can eliminate all aliases in the
D710, and start your HT's digipath with the D710's callsign.  This can help,
as mobile stations _routinely_ acting as fill-in digis (or more) is not
courteous on VHF.   Leaving UITrace TEMP doesn't hurt tho, as it's not
routinely used.

 

Mike, you could reduce the number of hops requested in your digipath
settings to help folks out on VHF too.  Routinely more'n enuf.

Okay, finally installed my d710 and I want to use it for my d7a(g) to digi
through.  My d700 was setup as a WIDE1-1 digi.  However, on d710 there are
two places it could go.  Should I use UIDIGI WIDE1-1 or UITRACE WIDE1-1?

 

I see Uitrace is currently temp and Uidigi was off.

 

Thanks,

Mike
