[Packet] APRS and Digi's

Jerry; you are correct to be usefull to the aprs community home stations
need to have the commitment to run the station 24/7 if they truly want  to
be a "relay".  This would be independent of what aprs application you run on
your computer.  The only time I turned off my home packet station was when
storms made it prudent to disconnect the antenna.- N0LKK

: To be a relay station (and probably ALL APRS stations should) its only
: necessary to set the alias to RELAY or WIDE (depending on what the local
: APRS Guru wishes) and to enable digipeat in the TNC options. Then keep
: the radio and TNC turned on and connected to an antenna.
