  6. CAUTION
    • If you are using other programs that connect to APRS servers, there is a possibility that APRSgo may conflict with them. To avoid this issue, it is recommended to choose an APRS server located on a different continent. For example, if you are in the USA, consider selecting a server in Asia (such as asia.aprs2.net).
