C# These are the most likely settings you might change:
C#
C#	(1)   	MYCALL 	-  call sign and SSID for your station.
C#
C#			Look for lines starting with MYCALL and 
C#			change NOCALL to your own.
C#
C#	(2)	PBEACON	-  enable position beaconing.
C#
C#			Look for lines starting with PBEACON and 
C#			modify for your call, location, etc.
C#
C#	(3)	DIGIPEATER  -  configure digipeating rules.
C#
C#			Look for lines starting with DIGIPEATER.
C#			Most people will probably use the given example.
C#			Just remove the "#" from the start of the line
C#			to enable it.
C#
C#	(4)	IGSERVER, IGLOGIN  - IGate server and login
C#
C#			Configure an IGate client to relay messages between 
C#			radio and internet servers.

C#
C# The default location is "direwolf.conf" in the current working directory.

C
C# Some might want to send an IGate client position directly to a server

C
C# The APRS Internet Server (APRS-IS) has its own idea about what you
C# should be transmitting.  This includes "messages" addressed to stations
C# recently heard in your area.  For special situations, you can subscribe
C# to
C# decrease what you are already subscribed to.  This is known as a server
C# side filter.  Read here:  http://www.aprs-is.net/javaprsfilter.aspx
C# Example, positions and objects within 50 km of my location:
C
C#IGFILTER m/50 
C
C# Sometimes the server will send you more than you want. You can also apply
C# local filtering to limit what will be transmitted on the RF side.
C# For example, transmit only "messages" (which is the default) on channel 0
C# and weather reports on channel 1.
C
C#FILTER IG 0 i/30
C#FILTER IG 1 t/wn
C
C# Finally, we don't want to flood the radio channel.  
C# The IGate function will limit the number of packets transmitted

C# be exceeded, the packet is dropped and message is displayed in red.
