There are two digipeater near my home. Based on information on "https://aprs.fi", one digipeater is about 5.3 miles from my home and the other is about 16.1 miles from my home. Since I do not have any base station antenna, therefore I just use the rubber ducky antenna in a room and set the output power as a low power (1W).
It seems the both digipeaters can pick up my APRS packet and I can see some packets from other station through those digipeaters. At least it works around my home with low power setup. Also, today, I did not see any unexpected transmission at all. I guess some setup yesterday might not be right.
The current setup is:
On PocketPacket:
- VOX trigger is 400msc
Radio:
- VOX setup value on BAOFENG UV-5R is "10"
- The volume is middle position
iPhone:
- Volume setup is the maximum on iPhone
It has been running more than 2 hours and I saw some stations near home. The next step is trying to use this on a trail.
