Hello all
I am brand new to APRS and would like to set somthing up at my house to help out other APRS users KISH & RT23. I have been reading a lot over the last few days and I don't want to put up somthing if it is not needed. So I guess the question is digi or Igate and do I really need to or is that covered in this area. I have a 123ft tower and have a elv of 950ft so I would have a good range with a small setup. Any help or info would be great. Please understand I am brand new to aprs and I like to do things write the first time and don't want to cause and interferance to anyone.

You could ask 15 different people, and get 30 different answers..
I say set it up, if you're going to digi, make it a WIDE1-1 only.. That will help fill in any gaps in that area..(make sure you can hit a WIDE first)
Have fun... Signed Gene Young N9MXQ
