As far as I know, there's only one basic convention where you don't end up with a bunch of exceptions.
CALLSIGN Even Pete's modified CLLI code has issues, CA is both a state and a country. ZIP Codes can come close, except that no one knows what 23324 is. Airport codes can sometime work, but we've got a couple of repeaters whose closest airport is the same one. And LZU or 1AB aren't necessarily readily recognizable as well. If anyone figures anything out, please let me know. I'd definitely like to have something else in the Repeater Listings for the new radios at http://www.dstarinfo.com/repeaters/repeaters.htm Ed WA4YIH From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of bosshardss Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 4:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Simplify Abreviations for Alpha Tags I am trying to organize channels in my 2820 again and looking for a simple way to abbreviate the Names or Locations of repeaters. Zip Codes or Postal Codes may be OK in the US. IATA Airport codes may be OK except most mountain tops don't have airports. It looks like there a just around 500 G2 Gateways plus nearly 40 JA Gateways. Anyone else have a working system ? 73 steve nu5d
