Support for Destination Address Digipeating #95

Open DayleDrinkwater opened 1 month ago

DayleDrinkwater commented 1 month ago

Hello, the T-Echo firmware by cfr34k (https://github.com/cfr34k/t-echo-lora-aprs) encodes the digi path via the destination field.

For example APLETK-1 should translate to digipeating the same as WIDE1-1, as specified in http://www.aprs.org/doc/APRS101.PDF , page 15, "Generic APRS Digipeater Path"

However this is not followed in this firmware. Please can support be added to allow this type of digipeating.

Using this format decreases the length of the packet and will help with decoding errors and congestion.

Thanks, Dayle M0OUE
