At one time I thought the Path indicated the bands that were in use, sometimes split frequency, sometimes in one band and out the other...
Perhaps Ken can confirm that...

Hi Gang,
Does anyone know why the Unproto Path seems to change from day to day?
Last
Friday evening it was "RS0ISS-3." Then a few days later it was
"RS0ISS-4."
I have been advised to simply enter "ARISS" in my D-700 path statement and
I
should be okay, but I have not made an APRS contact since doing so. My inquisitive nature needs an answer as to why the Path keeps changing.
Could
I enter all the above path statements to be certain? Any and all info
will
be greatly appreciated.
I monitored 145.825 MHz on a few passes over the eastern USA yesterday and did not hear any packet data. Also attempted to call NA1SS on 145.800/144.490, hoping that perhaps Mike was off duty and enjoying a few QSO's. Nothing heard. Is there any one website where we can get
up-to-the
minute news and info, or must I just go with trial and error attempts and hope to get lucky with making a voice contact? I was able to confirm a couple of contacts during the 25th Anniversary event, but want more and more!
Sincerely & 73,
Harry ~ KC2OJN
