It looks like it is time to restructure the entire APRS system. Any network that can be brought down by non-compliant clients has a big problem and should be restructured. Trying to police the entire world to make sure no one violates a protocol for a large scale open access network is sure to fail.

The entire idea is that it's open source... so even if the standard code in the repository complies it will not stop anyone from changing it to be 1 per second or 1 per decade... i.e you get my point.

Bob,
You may want to share your very valid concerns with the developer of the project (Mike Bales, KI6VBK) who can be reached here:
beta@tracksoar.com
SInce he's part of the group that has developed the hardware and the
code,
and since it's open source, it should be possible to have the path and beacon rate set properly, as long as they know what to do.

The #1 question is what Path this device will use. It is an
abomination
to fly such a tracker on the APRS network with a beacon rate more often than once a minute, *OR* with a path via more than 1 hop. If those limits are not implemented in hardware, these devices could trash the national APRS frequency.
Half the balloons we see go up to not adhere to these APRS standards because the operators are clueless to the netwrk constraints and apparently do nothing to research the proper settings.. Bob, WB4APR
