Just curious, who's running TCP/IP and APRS on the same channel? Or
perhaps you have an MKISS TNC and so have multiple ports/radios tied
to the same serial interface?
Same channel. Don't worry -- it's just for testing purposes. Average TCP/IP
traffic on my local APRS channel is 100 bytes / month.
For some places in Europe I've heard it's accepted to run APRS
alongside other protocols, and for non-144.39 frequencies it's just
fine in the U.S. and Canda. I'd be wary of running connected mode
packets or even unconnected mode TCP packets on the main APRS
frequency. You're liable to get shot by the locals.
Not too many locals here. We've got about 5 active APRS users in the county.
It is just very convenient to give a quick ping on a known-working setup
when troubleshooting a buddy's TCP/IP AX25 setup. (when we can't find any
other reason it isn't working)
