Working Well!!

Went to the uni yesterday and changed the radio over. Settings seem ok now and UB is really working well. Just shows what a read of the manual can do and having a good understanding of what is going on!!!
It is now running at the updated standard, which you can link to from www.great2play.co.uk

Updated Settings

Went to site today and changed the rig to accept Tracen-n, WIDEn-n and APRS. However I left the uissid on which means some stations are showing multiple id numbers.I hope to go back up on Wednesday and sort it out.
Reports on how it is going would be appreciated.

Well things are moving with APRS. More digi's etc. Also the standard for unproto g=has changed. for base it is APRS,TRACE3-3 and mobile APRS,RELAY,TRACE3-3. MB7UB is still set for TRACE7-7 and will not accept TRACE so a trip will be needed to change things.
