sign.

TIP: About the SSID
To assist in identifying a station's type,
designated call sign SSIDs are used in D-PRS
(or APRS ® ), according to a common guideline.
The guideline may be changed when the
infrastructure environment, such as a product
or network, is changed. Please check the latest
guideline in the web site related to D-PRS and
APRS ® , and correctly set.
