APRS Networks 06
Like UIDIGI and UIFLOOD, UITRACE should normally never be enabled by a mobile except in very unusual
circumstances.

Fig. 6-7 Using UITRACE
Although UITRACE using the normal APRS network path of WIDEn‑N can be a problem if mobiles activate their
digipeater at the wrong time, it is also so powerful, that it is a shame not to be able to use it easily if required. For this
reason, all APRS mobiles are encouraged to activate the UITRACE permanently, BUT using the alias of TEMP instead
of WIDE. This makes the mobile always possible to use as a TEMPn‑N digipeater while avoiding the problem of adding
interference to the normal use of WIDEn‑N.

Configuration Examples (U.S.A.)
Two configuration examples are shown below.
● Example 1:
This example shows configuration for a typical TM-D710 mobile installation for general use in routine operation.
• UIDIGI
UIDIGI: OFF
ALIAS: WIDE1‑1
(This allows this mobile to become a first-hop digipeater by simply configuring UIDIGI to On.)
• UIFLOOD
UIFLOOD: OFF
ALIAS: NONE
SUBSTITUTION: ID
(This is not used. If this mobile is needed as a temporary digipeater, then this field can be used in support of SSn-N. But if
WIDEn‑N temporary support is needed, then the UITRACE command can be used.)
