-`set advert.interval {minutes}`

-As of Aug 20 2025, a pending PR on github will change the flood advert to 12 hours to minimize airtime utilization caused by repeaters' flood adverts.

 ### 3.2. Q: Do I need to set the location for a repeater?
 **A:** While not required, with location set for a repeater it will show up on the MeshCore map in the future. Set location with the following command:
 
-`set lat <GPS Lat> set long <GPS Lon>`
+`set lat <GPS Lat>`
+
+`set lon <GPS Lon>`
 
 You can get the latitude and longitude from Google Maps by right-clicking the location you are at on the map.
