A new digi vk5rld-1 located in the Riverland is currently running on test
and will serve mobile traffic using the Sturt Highway to and from the
Eastern States over the festive season break. It is hoped that the digi
will be fully operational early in the New Year. Reports to
rivcomm@gmail.com are most welcome.

Hi Geoff,
I am interested in the method you use to get the house to play the
announcement and turn the lights on? Can you expand on how it works?

Re: [OZAPRS] VK2XPP-9 ending testing, I hope.
LOL :-)
It does have some practical uses - I have automated our house to some
extent and have integrated APRS into the home automation. The house plays
an announcement when I am on the way home and within 2km and also sets up
a few conditions, turns on lights etc all just from receiving a well
placed posit message :-)
Don't turn off the beacon - set it to every 15 or every 30... It can
still be a handy thing to have, but it's not essential.
Forgot to mention the other comment you had with the TO field ... This
sets the icon that is displayed, GPSMV sets it to a car. If you send to
APRS I think it just comes up with a generic dot or X symbol (can't
remember exactly)
Regards,
Geoff
