Thanks Jason, That's exactly what I need to know. I don't want to use a digipeater on the hill-tops because I need that channel for other packets. If I put a digipeater on that channel, APRS is all it's good for. Thanks again, Craig On Feb 5, 2007, at 9:31 AM, Jason Winningham wrote:

I have the TCP/IP as part of a RACES network and I plan to use APRS on the same frequency, but only during an EOC activation, to track the deployed people. Both APRS and TCP/IP/AX.25 will not likely be used very much during a deployment because we don't have many people with TNCs. But once I get
