Hello,

I'm curious if there is a way to send my AX25 beacon via a digipeater?

I looked in direwolf.tnc.conf and saw the following:

I'm not sure if there is something I can add to this for it to work. This would be for the AX25 Node Network and not APRS. 

Basically, I want to send my CBEACON string out through a digipeater here called BIGBOY instead of just simplex. Hope that makes sense.
Is this possible to do?

Dave

Yes, add a "via=BIGBOY" to the CBEACON line in direwolf.node.conf



This is mine, for example,


CBEACON via=KBERR dest=BEACON delay=00:30 every=30:00 info="COOL Node"



cool,
