APRSmax.TXT       Differences between APRSdos and APRSmax
Document version: 8.6.9
Author(s):        Bob Bruninga, WB4APR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

APRSmax is a slightly simplified version of APRSdos to make room for
larger array sizes to capture as many as 300 stations instead of the
limit of 100 with regular APRSdos.  This text file will detail what
was removed and what has been added to APRSmax.

In general, APRSmax (APRSx##.EXE) will be used by the typical 24/7 fixed
station so that the user can see more stations.  But he may still revert
to APRSdos (APRS###) when he needs some of the specialty functions of
the full program.

Note: All APRSxxx.zip distributions now come with both the full and
MAX versions of the .EXE's.

APRSmax unique Features and additions not in APRSdos:
   * D-Page shows statistics of different paths by  other users
   * Can capture 10 pages (300 stations)
   * Has MAPS-PLOTS-HOPS display of Digi HOP ranges
   * Has OPS-SHOWaloha calculator to show nearest ALOHA range
   * Has ALIASES/GROUP functions for MARS and special event calls

APRSmax Simplifications.  THings removed from APRSdos to make APRSmax
   * Removed FADE-CIRCLE DF technique
   * Removed direct GPS and NMEA interfaces (APRSmax is for fixed stns)
   * Removed NTS Messaging
