If your beacon text begins with the ">" character, that makes it an APRS
status packet and it should be captured. If it is any other BEACON text
then it wont be captured unless it is one of the other APRS formats...

Not actually needed, because the LText above is send with the callsign of
the sending TNC included. All APRS client software is supposed to capture
this as well...
But THANKS for getting this ball rolling!
If you go to more than direct, reduce the periodicity by the same factor.
One wide make it 20 mins.
2 wides make it 30 mins...
jut my thinking...

We have had better luck in getting the voice alert set up in the Cheyenne
area after a post to the local club list on your topic and to not run the
tone unless your looking for a conversation. Look for me when I am at work
and the message for VA on 100.0 PL

IRLP and ECHOlink objects on LOCAL 144.39 RF:
>>Then there is the message format described at
>>http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/avrs.html:
Hummh... My AVRS web page is not up to date. I was sure I had posted
these ideas before, but cannot find them, so here goes...
;IRLP-####*DDHHMMzDDMM.hhN/DDDMM.hhWLPHGphcdFFFFFF/PPP SSSSSSSSS OOOOOOO
Where: IRLP##### or ECHO##### are the Node address (9 bytes always)
DDHHMM is the zulu time of the transmission
DDMM.hhN is the latitude
DDDMM.hhW is the longitude
L is a LINK ICON (it may show up as a lighthouse on some APRS)
PHGphcd is the antenna power, height, gain and directivity
FFFFFF is exactly 6 digits of frquency (ie 146940 or 443.250)
PPP is the PL (ignore the tenths of a HZ)
SSSSSSSSS is a 9 character free field for STATUS
OOOOOOO is a 7 character optional continuation of status
Note, the 9 character status and 7 character optional bytes can be
extended to 10 and 8 respectively if the leading SPACE is replaced.
Those just mark the "line" boundaries on the Kenwood Front Panel displays
whre things are displayed in three lines of 10 characters each. The
OPTIONAL field will not show up on the two line D7's display, but will be
seen on the D700 mobile front panel.
For PHGphcd see the digis.txt file (search Google for it)
In the status field you can put things like:
Available = Its on line or just went to idle
<=>123456 = Its connected to node 123456
Off-line = (whatever that means)
etc
NOTES:
1) If this APRS packet is not automated, then put 111111z for the DDHHMMz
date time field since it is not displayed on the mobiles anyway.
2) For PHG, remember it is HAAT not height above sealevel or any other
height. And thi equation is not perfect. So observe the coverage circle
as plotted on an APRS map and see if you need to increase it or decrease
it. Remember, the "d" value can offset the circle in the 8 cardinal
directiosn if you have a lopsided coverage.
If this conflicts from my other recent postings, can someone send me a
copy of it. I have been kibitzing so much recently I can't keep track of
what ALL I have said. At least I cant find it now...

Well, Handie-Talkie belongs to Motorola, along with PL. FRS radios are
commonly referred to in some places as "Talkabouts" - another Motorola
trademark. Let's hope Rino GPSs don't wind up being referred to as APRS
radios, or all trackers referred to as RINOs...

Hi,
I am going through my aprsd configuration. Almost ready to turn the i-gate
back on. I noticed that aprsd defaults to the following servers:
Server second.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
Server first.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
Server third.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
Is leaving it like this an appropriate thing to do?

I would have to agree with you about just sending udp packets to the
APRS-IS. I don't think there is anyone doing just APRS-IS. The IS is
only the transport between the IRLP box back to the igate (usually the
same box). As I've said before, if the internet connection breaks and
you loose connection to the IS, so does the IRLP node anyway.

That's what I'm using with just one more added
Server fourth.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
There is still all kinds of crazy cross connecting going on with old
versions of aprsd and I really don't know why. No one I've asked why they
need to use verified cross connects has ever answered me. Yeah you might
miss a packet or 2 a day, so what? It's better than taxing your box down
with a bunch of dupes, and possibly bringing down the box or worse.

I don't know why either. When I saw the cause of looping packets a few
months ago, I asked the same question. Example:

Any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to set up an igate using aprsd. I have put the following in my
aprsd.conf file.
Server second.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
Server first.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
Server third.aprs.net 10152 hub-sr
However it doesn't seem to be connecting. If I try to manually connect I get
the following:
