Re: [digitalradio] AX25 Protocol group

Hi Jeff,
   If this is a re write of the AX25 protocol and I understand
that 2.2 is there in the wing but hasn't been adopted 
this will impact all AX25 software / firmware world wide

That is why I have asked the question ..

If the above is correct it will be one huge task..

Actually, I suspect that it will be nearly impossible to do.  Given the number 
of systems that can't be upgraded without all new hardware (not everybody is 
going to go for that).

Thx for the headsup on that!

Perfect!  Just as the US is moving back to AX.25 packet technology for Emcomm 
purposes, people are planning on shutting down and making wholesale changes 
to the AX.25 protocol.  Brilliant!

Hopefully, it will only affect the VK crowd.

  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 ???

  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.
