Castle Rock Repeater Group now has their own group on the APRS announcement server ANSRVR. Checking into the server through APRS is simple and allows announcements or messages to be sent to all of the other CRRG members that are checked into the server. To check into the group simply send a message from your radio to ANSRVR and a message of CQ CRRG (your message). Once you check in you will receive any sent messages for the next 12 hours.
Using ANSRVR is pretty straight forward. All Messages are sent to ANSRVR, depending on what you have in the message body is what happens, see the chart below for a list of actions:
| Message Body | Action |
|---|---|
| CQ CRRG (message here) | Subscribes you to the CRRG ANSRVR group and sends the message to everybody already in the group. This is also how you send messages after you have already subscribed to the group. |
| ? CRRG | How many people are in the group. |
| D CRRG | This returns the group description and the callsigns of those subscribed. |
| J CRRG | Subscribe to the CRRG group silently without sending a message. You can also send this to reset the 12 hour subscription timer. |
| K CRRG | Keep alive, resets the 12 hour subscription timer. |
| L | List the groups you are currently subscribed to. |
| U CRRG | Unsubscribe from the CRRG group |
