Oh, I thought you already did! hi hi
There's no possible way that OpenTRAC could interfere with APRS any more
than APRS interferes with other APRS operation.
I disagree with that statement, but only slightly. There's no way a
"properly coded" APRS program would be bothered by OpenTrac. Some
of the programs might try to decode packets that used a different
protocol ID than APRS, for instance if they had KISS TNC capability
they might see TCP/IP packets and OpenTrac packets and try to decode
them as APRS. The program in this case _should_ filter out anything
that's not the APRS protocol ID, but some may not.
As I recall, there was approximately one station reporting "problems"
associated with the OpenTrak incident in question. The lack of
reproducibility suggests that the null hypothesis was rejected.
Your post was on topic BTW. At least as far as I'm concerned.
I certainly don't think it rated a <rant></rant> tag with attribution.
