SSIDs

An SSID is the number following the Callsign,
which can range from -0 to -15 on the air (internet-
only stations have different rules). A -0 (dash-
zero) station shows up in mapping as the Callsign
without the -0. For instance W7ABC-0 will show
up as simply W7ABC. A person may have 16
different APRS stations on the air at one time
using only the SSID's to differentiate between them.
Here is the modern protocol:
- 0 Home station, or a home station running IGate.
- 1 DIGIpeater, home station running a relay
DIGIpeater and/or WX DIGIpeater
- 2 DIGIpeater on 70 cm
- 3 DIGIpeater
- 4 HF to VHF gateway
- 5 IGate (not home station)
- 6 Operations via satellite
- 7 Handheld radios (Kenwood TH-D7, Yaesu
VX-8R, ICOM D-Star, etc)
- 8 Boats, sailboats and ships (maybe 802.11
in the future)
- 9 Mobiles
