We currently have three stationary stations generating over 500 packets a day - closer to 1000. Better settings would have that at an adequate 50 packets a day...
- If your mobile is stationary... Configure it to slow down beacons. Once every half hour is fine - a beacon every minute when not moving is not needed.
- If you're doing telemetry - you don't need the heading and data rules transmitted every few minutes. Once an hour would be fine. Once every day or two would work if you're not making changes.
- If your mobile is moving - you don't need to beacon every 10 seconds. A transmission very couple minutes on the busy 144.390 MHz channel is adequate to show where you're at. Better yet - use smart beaconing to send beacons when needed and not when not needed.
As for general configuration...
- RELAY,WIDE is no longer supported. You won't get the advantage of fill in digipeaters. Yes - we still have stations using that path.
