Am thinking maybe on RF port setup. Beacon ticked but not messages? But I must admit have not tested what actually happens, in that scenario

As Greg said, the APRS-IS passcode is only to validate your packets when sent to the APRS-IS servers. It has no bearing on RF transmissions. It is assumed that you are legally allowed on the air when you put a station on the air. > The W8HHF station is our local repeater for the APRS, D-Star etc. That really has no bearing on getting your station operational, other than you might hear a digipeat coming back from the digipeater when you send packets. > My home station and callsign is KD8BIN. Always a very important piece of information when asking for help. By providing the EXACT CALLSIGN-SSID, it allows the rest of us to look for any evidence of how your specific station may or may not be operating. > So, after i get the passcode, I will see if I have luck sending messages.... You might, but that would be because the message is going out to the APRS-IS, and then gets gated back to RF and delivered to the desired station. There's something else going on here... It looks like your station is on the air, and is sending packets out via RF. I just sent your station a query, and got a response back. I sent a message and got an ACK back, but both via APRS-IS only. In the middle of a chat with you on APRSISCE/32 currently, but the RF ONLY section doesn't seem to be working. Lynn, what can be disabled to make RF messaging stop working, yet position reports still go out over RF? -- James VE6SRV
