I run my I-Gate on a Satellite Connection and know of several others that
do. Never have noticed a dupe problem that could be attributed to lag.

Subject: [aprssig] Objects on APRS
Hi Guys,
I would like to remind everyone that IRLP, Voice Repeater, Etc. Objects that
are put on an APRS Gateway node are great. But to put them out when your
only connection is to the APRS-IS system is counter productive. I have been
noticing a few in the northwest have been doing this, thinking an Igate will
pick them up and put them out.
Hope everyone has fun at Dayton.

I would think that for HF you'd want the shortest packet possible, so make
sure you're not sending GPRMC strings over the air. Try for Base-91 or
Mic-E format packets instead if the TNC's will do that.
That said, the TNC needs to receive GPRMC sentences from the GPS in order
to get course/speed, and GPGGA sentences to get the altitude.
I don't know whether that info will help you, but each little bit of
knowledge might get you closer to a solution.

Subject: [aprssig] What settings for igate?
Hi folks,
Seeing all this BBS discussion on wide-blah-dash-blah, etc, made me think
that I should have my ARPS station contribute to capturing local traffic
and igateing it to the internet. Should I? What settings?
I had a "spare" Alinco HT, MFJ-1278 TNC, and computer doing nothing
special, so I started playing around with APRS. The computer is running
SuSE Linux 10.2, so I loaded up xastir v1.8.0 and cabled up the TNC and
radio and a J-pole antenna. It's been useful to see the several weather
stations in the area, though my kids think it's a bit spooky to see Dad
stalking other hams... :-).
Currently I am only transmitting my fixed position once/hr, with a "house"
icon. I see xastir settings under Interface control -> Properties to gate
RF to Internet, and to set the unproto paths. Presumably I just check the
RF to Internet only box, as my station is not very high level and wouldn't
be a help going the other direction. The first unproto path is set to
WIDE2-1, and the others are blank. Is this correct? I think most of the
other settings are pretty much default. Anything I should change or verify
before turning it on?
Thanks,
Greg KO6TH

I'd change it to send your position once/30 minutes, as many stations out
there will expire you after 30 minutes. I believe UI-View is this way,
which is by far the most popular client out there.
Also: To gate to the internet you need to set that mode in the
File->Configure->Defaults dialog and on the particular interface you're
using for your TNC. This is so that you can have multiple interfaces out
there and decide the gating direction/enabling for each interface
individually. Turn off the global one (Configure->Defaults) and they all
stop gating.
You might want to gate in both directions, as this then helps people to use
APRS messaging. By default the only things that will get gated to RF are
messages and ack's, not all the packets you receive via the internet. If
you like you can decide to gate certain NWS weather alerts to RF as well.
How to do that is in the docs. Just grep for "nws-stations.txt" through
the files.
