It should not be possible to set send beacon too often in dig/wx some users are setting this on 30s with is flooding network. Minimum should be 5 or 10 minutes.

Hi

What firmware ? Igate firmware?

This has many validations to avoid this. Unless someone forked it and changed the code to allow this.

It I remember it right, 15 min was the minimum as interval.

Is he using only packets over Rf? Does he has tnc connected?

Does he have more info about the other configurations?

Ahh, now I think I appreciate better the issue reported by SP2ATJ. Locally, W2MIX flashed from the website a brand-new LilyGO V1.6.1 70 cm board and it was beaconing about once every 20 seconds. I communicated with W2MIX, he tried flashing it again, but it ended up doing the same excessive beacon rate. As far as I know, he's still having that problem. I will attempt to investigate further.
