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
Good Morning:
I cant answer your question directly but I know that the advice to use simply ARISS for the path works fine. And if I recall, that advice was given by the father of APRS, Bob Bruninga so it should be good :) Must be some other issue in the setup giving you trouble.

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...

The D700 supports multiple configurations. The different IDs are assigned to the various modes. The most common mode now is PKT mode which utilizes RS0ISS-4. Another mode is APRS mode which is RS0ISS-4. During 9600 baud ops, the ID was RS0ISS-5. ARISS is the alias assigned to all modes so you don't have to constantly change.

Oops. APRS mode is RS0ISS-3.
