No, those are the (and I have to think very hard here to make sure I get this right each time) precision boxes. They show the precision that the transmitted APRS format is capable of. For instance, around here Kenwoods show a 40' x 60' box, 'cuz the Mic-E format is only capable of relaying that much precision to the end user. When somebody decides to put blanks into some of the least significant digits of lat/long, they're further diluting the precision that is transmitted, and we show that as the ambiguity boxes. Pretty much the same thing. -- Curt, WE7U.
