As long as I can receive data, I can display other people's APRS data (which may be relayed by a local repeater, or directly transmitted by the other party).
No need to configure relay parameters like a standard repeater; just set the Path parameter. This is only valid for repeaters, and when a repeater receives an APRS packet with the Path parameter, it will forward it. After one repeater forwards it, the repeater will then forward the next n-1.If you are studying computer networks, you can understand it as TTL.
For example, if you want a packet to be relayed three times.
- The user has configured everything before launching.
WIDE3-3(By "WIDE", I mean broadcasting over a wide range; any repeater can receive and retransmit.)
- Assuming that there is an APRS repeater named "a" nearby, and it received this data packet, it learned that...
WIDE3-3, which can be forwarded, so it was modified to: WIDE3-2, and also append the repeater's own callsign to the original data packet (indicating the node in the path).
- There's also another repeater, 'b', nearby that I can receive from.
WIDE3-2Repeat the above steps.
- Until repeater D received the signal from C.
WIDE3-0Because the TTL has expired, it cannot be forwarded, and this route ends here.
