====APRS Station====

An APRS Station is a collection of equipment which participates
in the [[Main_Page|APRS]] system. A station has the ability to handle
digital packet traffic which conforms to the [[AX.25]] specification.

A station has a name or identifier which is an [[CallSign|callsign]] followed by an SSID.
The station's name needs to be unique in it's sphere of operation. Most
folks use their [[CallSign|Amateur Radio callsign]] as the character part of their APRS
station name. For example: N0CZK-4

~ RF Station Name
~~ 3-6 capital alphanumeric characters (callsign)
~~ SSID of 0 -15
~ Internet Station Name
~~ 3-9 total alpanumeric characters up to 1 hyphen followed by 1 or 2 alphanumeric characters
( from [http://www.aprs-is.net/Presentations/APRS%20Best%20Practices.pdf http://www.aprs-is.net/Presentations/APRS%20Best%20Practices.pdf] )

For RF station names, the SSID part should use this recommendation:

-1, 2, 3, 4 are for digipeaters and other home stations
-6 is for Operations via Satellite
-7 is for TH-D7 walkie talkies
-8 is for boats, sailboats and ships (maybe 802.11 in the future)
-9 is for Mobiles
-10 is for operation via The internet only
-11 is for APRStouch-tone users (and the occasional Balloons)
-14 is for Truckers
-15 is for HF
