You dont have to do this, but if you choose to do so, the TNC can beacon its position up to 5 different paths. APRS VIA WORM,WA6YLB-3,W6APA,WIDE,WIDE Now decide how often each of these numbered paths will be sent. Note - the TNC will send the LT buffers if BLT is activated, and there is something in the LT buffer itself. If the LT buffer is empty, nothing is sent. You can set up the normal beacon stuff using Btext, Unproto, and Beacon commands.
Email addresses are good ideas too.
Next set up a path you want the Btext to travel. Here are the special APRS commands used by version 8.2 software. They are not in Version 6.0 for KPC3. UIDigi sets the aliases for the digi to respond to. More discussion of UIdigi, UIflood, and UItrace is included in the bottom of this text file.
