Station DB (NAMES.GP)

Station DB classifies every station it hears and shares that with your other tools. It shows nothing itself: tools such as Station log and the info responder read it over the tool bus.

What it does

For every heard frame, the tool works out the station's type with the NAMES.GP rules and:

  • publishes station.seen with { call, type, source }, where source is RF from the packet terminal or APRS from the map's live stations;
  • answers the station.type service with a heard station's type, or "" for one it has not heard.

It keeps the last 5000 stations.

Use it

Install Station DB and switch it on, then install a tool that reads it, such as Station log or the Info / menu responder.
