What is UIDIGI?

UIDIGI is firmware (EPROM code) written to be used with any TNC2 or TNC2 clone. This firmware makes the TNC operate as an APRS packet digipeater with advanced functions. (APRS is a registered tradmark of Bob Bruninga - WB4APR)

The characteristics of UIDIGI

The UIDIGI EPROM (firmware) can only be installed in a TNC2 or 100% compatible Clone with clock speeds of 2.4576Mhz, 4.9152Mhz or 9,8304Mhz, and also having 32K of RAM.

Supports AX.25 release 1 and 2.
Allows full control of AX.25 link layer parameters (Timers, SlotTime, Persistence). It also allows remote sysop control via sysop interface commands.
Repeats only AX.25 UI frames (APRS uses UI frames)
Supports the digipeating of UI AX.25 frames addressed to bot the digipeaters callsign or any programmed alias.
Supports the digipeating of UI AX.25 frames addressed to user definable generic callsigns (up to 8 user defined callsigns - either preprogrammed or via theremote sysop interface). Also allows call substitution.
Supports the digipeating of UI AX.25 frames addressed a generic call (eg: WIDE) using a flooding algorithm.
Supports the digipeating of UI AX.25 frames addressed a generic call (eg: TRACE) using trace+flooding algorithm.
Ignores duplicate frames sent within a defined interval.
Ignores the digipeating of digipeater initiated frames (beacons), or beacon frames already digipeated with call substitution or generic callsign.
Support for handling direction digipeating based on SSID's. APRS Spec allows setting of digipeat direction preference via SSID of UI Frames (Thus, you can state a preferred relay direction (North South East West))
Remote management (sysop) protected by password.
Digipeater heard station list.
Up to 3 user definable Beacon Text strings.
