# APRS Systems

The APRS system list specifies the various information for transmitting your position using analog APRS. As digital channels may use either DMR or analog APRS for position reporting, this list shares a namespace with the GPS system list. That is, the ID must be unique across both lists.

    APRS Name                Channel Period Source      Destination Path                   Icon        Message
    2    "APRS APAT81"       103     300    DM3MAT-7    APAT81-0    "WIDE1-1WIDE2-1"       "Jogger"    "Y07"

The first column specifies the ID of the APRS positioning system. This must be unique across APRS and DMR position reporting systems. The second column specifies the name of the system as a string. the third column specifies the revert channel. That is, the analog channel the APRS information is transmitted on. The 4th column specifies the period with which the position gets reported. The 5th and 6th columns specify the source and destination calls and SSIDs respectively. The 7th column specifies the path string. This is list of calls and SSIDs stored as a string without any separators. The 8th column specifies the map icon name. The name does not need to match the official icon name exactly. The icon is identified as the closes matching icon name with respect to the Levenshtein distance between the given and all icon names. That is, jogger and jogging will select the same icon. Finally, the 9th column specifies a freely selectable text to be sent with the position report.
