​
AMS (automatic mode selection) is NOT enabled.
This means that the repeater will not accept "Analogue" signals and repeat back "Analogue" at this time. The mode of preference is DN (Digital Narrow)

APRS Automatic Packet Reporting System
​
The BARC VE3RSB Digipeater is back on the air from the repeater site.
If you have not tried APRS, and it is available in your rig, set your rig to 144.390 and turn on your modem.
Set it up the way you want with beacon timing and make sure your callsign is entered correctly. The call sign is used as your identifier for APRS and to meet ISED identification requirements.
​
APRS provides situational awareness to all operators of everything that is going on in his local area, whether it be Weather reporting, traveler info, Direction Finding, objects pointing to ECHO link and IRLP, or Traffic reporting and emergency response. All of this while providing not only instantaneous operator-to-operator keyboard messaging capability for special events, but also an always-on Voice Alert backchannel between mobiles in simplex range. More APRS information here. There is even an APRS interface to the Win Link system called APRS link, so that mobiles can send and receive Email without needing a PC. Think of APRS as a signaling channel to reveal ALL amateur radio resources and live activities that are in range of the operator at any instant in time.
