FOLLOWING ARRL NUMBERED RADIO GRAMS LIST 27 May 2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------- WB4APR Maybe we can use the following format for sending a radiogram by APRS Touchtone. Although entering a recepient by DTMF may be very challenging, the much easier method for using APRS messaging via APRStt is to simply send the message to no-one in particular... but it will be picked up by the APRS Internet and WEB pages and so loved ones can check there to see what the sender is saying. So the format for sending an ARRL radio gram to the APRS web pages will be as follows: C2775*mm* then followed by your preprogrammed DTMF callsign. The "2775" is just ARRL spelled out on a keypad. The mm is the ARRL message number from the list below. The actual packet that results from this APRStt DTMF entry will be CALLID>APSPK,WIDE2-2:}USER>APRStt::ARRL-No##:message here.... Where CALLID is the callsign of the APRStt or APRSSpeak node Where APSPK is the version ID Where WIDE2-2 is the minimum path to get to an IGate Where USER is the callsign of the DTMF user Where APRStt shows it is an APRStt message Where ::ARRL-No##: is the required format for a message Where ## should be set to the actual ARRL message number Where "message here" is the text of the ARRL radio gram. Here are the standard ARRL NUMBERED Radiograms. Where they are too long, or require fill-in information, they have been modified slightly to a shortened APRS version as shown here: 01 Everyone safe here.
