Without seeing the entire packet you heard on RF, we cannot say for sure who moved it from IS to RF. Without seeing all the packets for about 10 minutes before you heard the packet on RF, and/or knowing the configuration of the possible station gating to RF, we again can't say for sure why that happened. One thing I can say for sure is that it didn't happen magically. There's a station around you that is on RF and the IS stream that under direction of some rule in the software moved the packet from the IS stream to the RF channel. The only unknown is which rule triggered the move. James VE6SRV

Re: receiving TCPIP station over RF
Rob Giuliano
I cannot remember the current starting point of this discussion. Was the packet you received from IS-to-RF a message, or just a position report. If it was a message: The answer is as simple as "someone gated from IS to RF". Many IGATES will gate IS-to-RF any packet address to a callsign it has heard "recently" on the RF channel. However, the answer becomes more complicated if it was a position packet. Could be: 1. Someone has an IGATE setup to GATE any signal to/from a callsign (regardless of SSID) that it recently heard. 2. Someone (including possibly another station of you callsign) has you as a "buddy" and automatically gates your packets to RF (and you were within the "HOP" zone). For #1: I cannot say how to set this up or what applications might have this feature, but it would make sense. In fact, I'd say that is a pretty interesting feature. If I am traveling and had another station (home station) on the air, hearing packets from that station, even though I am traveling in a moving and only on RF, would mean a lot. It tells me my station is still on the air. For #2: I've done this for testing. I have one instance of APRSIS32 running on IS only, then using G with b/KB8RCO* make it send any packets with my callsign to RF, then setip a receiving station to see that it works.

Some software will send beacons from tcpip to RF within a defined set of filters. APRX being one. Helpful if you have an event and some people are using phones etc

Re: WX Icon
Lynn Deffenbaugh
Never mind. You have your symbol set
to /W which is a weather station which, interestingly enough,
doesn't actually supply any weather. You need to use a /_
(underscore in the primary table) to be a WX Service which
actually supplies weather and is what everyone else uses. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32

Re: HF Path 10147.600
Thanks everyone,
I took out the path as I am just an HF Igate with no gating using a USB Signalink for HF packet. When I first approached this HF idea, it was suggested I run separate copies of APRSIS32 one for VHF and one for HF and that works just fine. I have Kantronics Kam Plus that has the gate possibility HF > VHF but will leave it as is for now as it is working. I am also running UISS on 145.825 and Igating ISS and NO-44 aprs traffic. I like UISS and there is a setting to beacon only when it hears the ISS or NO-44 and then stops beaconing after the last heard. This way it does not transmit when the satellites are not in view. This is important as my IGATES, Weather Station, Computer, internet wireless connection, and all the equipment is on solar. In winter I approach that fine line of output vs input on the power scheme so think sunshine !!!! I really enjoy APRS since KI0BJ Rex and I were the only two stations in Montana about 2000 !!!! I have watched it grow over years and enjoy seeing new stations show up in Montana even after all these years. APRS Rocks and I and truly having fun learning. A big thanks to N5DTX-8 who stops in the say howdy most mornings on HF APRS Packet. Thanks everyone Bill K7MT home

A feature of the IGATE is to be bi-directional. If you would like a quick review of this of how APRSIS32 handles this, I suggest looking at the wiki Robert Giuliano KB8RCO ---------------------------------------------

Re: receiving TCPIP station over RF
That's normal. It goes both ways. I send messages from APRSIS32 online to my HT via RF, and to my cellphone, and from my HT (RF) back to APRSIS32 online. Eric, N2WVM

Re: M0XER-4 Approaching Yellowknife [1 Attachment]

Yup, made landfall over Alaska yesterday gated through Ron's I-gate. Chris' I-gate in Yellowknife was up and operational this time! 😀
Luckily Leo's payload is long lived enough to wait long enough for them to get things sorted out! 10 laps and still going strong. Missed Alberta completely this time, but it looks like it will wander over Buffalo to have a look at the snow. James VE6SRV -- James VE6SRV

Thanks for the link. As an interesting meteorological aside, I see
it'll likely be floating over the part of New York that just got ~ 5-6 FEET of snow. So-called "lake effect". There are some predictions that they'll have 8 feet before that storm ends. Paul / KD0KZE On 11/20/2014 4:50 PM, 'Steve' steve@daniels270.eclipse.co.uk [aprsisce] wrote:

Re: HF Path 10147.600
Lynn Deffenbaugh
You will likely get as many answers as you get responders with any question about paths. Here's my understanding:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1) Most APRS on HF requires no path whatsoever. Shorter packets rule and digipeaters are particularly unhelpful on HF, especially without the FM capture effect that assists decoding simultaneous digipeats on VHF. 2) If you DO want to use a digipeater, then the standard has been ECHO to the best of my knowledge. 3) The GATE path component is asking receivers to gate the received packet onto the local VHF APRS frequency if they are capable of that. 4) Anything after the GATE is the path requested for said VHF cross-band-repeated packet. So ECHO,GATE,WIDE2-1 is asking any ECHO-based digipeaters to repeat the packet and any receiving station to gate the packet to their local VHF APRS frequency with a path of WIDE2-1.
