Tracker3 User’s Manual 32
The ‘Digipeat on my call’ option causes the tracker to repeat packets with the
tracker’s own callsign in the packet’s digipeater list. This allows any Tracker3
with the default configuration to be used as a relay if explicitly selected by the
sending station.
The entries in the alias list specify other digipeater address that the unit should
respond to. Only those with the ‘Enabled’ checkbox checked will be used. The
‘Enabled’ option is set in each profile. All other alias settings are global and
affect both profiles.
‘Hops’ specifies the maximum number of hops to allow for this alias. This option
limits excessive paths.
Normally the unit will repeat a packet only if it finds a match in its alias list for
the next unused address entry in the packet’s digipeater list. The ‘Preempt’
option tells the tracker to honor the alias if it appears anywhere in the digipeater
list.
‘ID’ causes insertion of the tracker’s callsign in the packet’s digipeater list,
allowing the actual path of a packet to be traced.
Each packet is checked against a duplicate list to avoid multiple transmissions of
the same packet. The ‘Dupe check’ time setting determines how long entries are
kept in this list.
