TIP: About the SSID
To assist in identifying a station’s type, designated
call sign SSIDs are used in D-PRS (or APRS
®
),
according to a common guideline.
The guideline may be changed when the
infrastructure environment, such as a product
or network, is changed. Please check the latest
guideline in the web site related to D-PRS and
APRS
®
, and correctly set.
