<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The PATH settings when configuring an APRS tracker, Digipeater or fill-in Digi is key to a successful participation in an APRS network.<br />
<br />
<br />
Example APRS path: <br />
<PRE><br />
WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1<br />
</PRE><br />
<br />
The first number in a N-N type path is the total number of digi hops desired. The<br />
second one is the number of potential hops remaining as the packet is transmitted<br />
from a given digipeater.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The following recommendations were obtained over time by reading many documents, absorbing third-party information from experienced operators of APRS nodes and first-hand experience of running an APRS station in mixed environments.<br />
