Subject: AX25 Protocol group
Hi,
I have heard that the above group may be looking at altering the
callsign fields to allow for extended callsigns
Eg WB6XXX/VK9 or VK9XXX/WB6
If this happens then all ax25 firmware / software will have to be re-written
What a job
Has anyone else heard this ???>From : VK2AAB To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Type/status : B$ Date/time : 29-Apr 20:27 BID (MID) : 1968_VK2AAB Message # : 373091 Title : Re:Time to switch off AX25 Path: !ZL2WA!ZL2BAU!7M3TJZ!DK0WUE!I0TVL!CX2SA!VK2DOT!VK2TV!VK2AAB! From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ray might be interested to know that the ax25 protocol group will be making changes for variable length callsign fields. It is not just a problem for Australianxxx calls. There are other special needs such as portable operation VK2AAB/ZL2 etc. They are working this year on other changes but it is definately in their todo list. I did not know that Roger had requested the source code be destroyed. Thats a shame, from memory I think someone volunteered to him to take it over. 73 Barry VK2AAB 73 Phillip ZL2TZE
