Setting The Digipeater Route - Yaesu FTM-100DR Instruction Manual

Setting the digipeater route

A digipeater is a station that relays packets such as beacons. The following 2 types of
digipeater routes can be selected for use in the device.
Route
OFF
WIDE 1-1
WIDE 1-1, WIDE 2-1
When "WIDE 1-1, WIDE 2-1" is selected, the beacon is initially relayed to the digipeater
station at the first location as specified in WIDE 1-1, and then it is relayed to the digipeater
at the second location as specified in WIDE 2-1.
As of 2015, digipeater stations used in APRS are recommended to operate in the New-
Paradigm format . As the number of supporting digipeater stations is the largest, the
*
default setting of this radio is therefore set to "WIDE 1-1, WIDE 2-1" when shipped from
the factory on the assumption of a digipeater station operating in the New-Paradigm
method. It is recommended that you operate the transceiver without changing the setting.
When using other relay methods, select either PATH 1 to PATH 4, FULL 1 or FULL 2, and
enter the address of the digipeater used for that route.
* Please refer to the following website for the description of the New-Paradigm format.

Caution
When too many relay steps are set, multiple transmission beacons from the same station are relayed,
resulting in congestion among the channels.
