Hello,

I've been working my way through the config.py file and there are some values that I'm unclear as to how to configure them properly.

Maybe it's just me but values you provide have the decimal in an odd location (latitude = 4726.18N & longitude = 12019.64W). What format are you using for geographic coordinates?

• WGS84
• Decimal Degrees (DD)
• Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM)
• Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS)

There's a section where you have to configure the APRS Filter (aprs_filter) and there's an example that says "Must change this to your QTH and change radius". I'm not sure what these values should be. Could you elaborate a bit more as to what is required here?

The example is:
r/47/-120/100

The release notes state that the email account information is optional. Do you have to do anything to disable email if you don't want to configure this section?

Lastly, in the "Override variables" section, there are several options listed where you only provide one value when in the Openspot, there are several options to choose from. I do not see anything that shows which numeric value(s) to specify if I want to specify a different option.

For example:
'o_sms_type= "1" #Group' - do I use '0' if I want Private or a 2?
'o_sms_format = "2" # UDP/Chinese' - there are 4 options in the Openspot1 (in order - ETSI, UDP, UDP/Chinese, Try all). What value should I use if I want ETSI format (or any of the other formats for that matter)?

Thank you,
