Hi All.

With the Frequency Monitor window visible, try unchecking the

*One more thing* I enabled frequency monitor and it will not turn off. There is a checkmark next to it but when I click again it just pulls up a stations frequency in a new window, but the checkmark remains. Even after closing the software and reopening it. Any advice?

Yes the FTM400 without an external TNC is receive only. But with a TNC or some other interface it becomes just like any other radio. I’m not relying on it’s aprs modem.

That would be true if he was using an FTM-350 type port, but he's
got a KISS-mode TNC3 connected via audio to the radio if I read
the screen shots correctly. That was EXACTLY my first thought

Re: Two way igate not working.
Lynn Deffenbaugh
I assume you're looking for messages to gate from -IS to RF, not arbitrary packets. With that said, APRSIS32 will only gate a message for a station under the following conditions: 1) The APRS-IS feed delivers such a message to APRSIS32. This SHOULD be automatic if you're connected to 14580 on an APRS-IS server that is consuming a full feed on the other end and IF the following conditions have been met. 2) A packet has been received from the station addressed in the message "recently" and "near enough". You can see which stations meet this criteria if you do a View / None followed by a View / RF / Local. Any station that shows up there are eligible to have messages gated to them. Or you can send a ?APRSL message which will respond back with a list of stations which are considered "Local". Yes, you can send this message to yourself in your APRSIS32 IGate instance. I believe there are several Trace Logs that can provide additional information. Look for logs called IGate and IGate(NOT), especially the latter as it will show why a message was NOT gated to RF. Bring up the Trace Log and ensure that you have Enabled it and THEN try getting a message to a local RF station from the APRS-IS. BTW, the way I usually test is with an HT, I'll send a message to "ISS" (without the quotes) and see if I get the auto-response back. If you're not familiar with the SATSRV, read http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:satsrv Or send an APRS station ID (callsign-SSID like KJ4ERJ-12) to
"QRZ" (again without the quotes and see what comes back. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE

Two way igate not working.
Justin Cherington
Hi everyone. I am using an FTM400 radio connected to a Mobilinkd TNC3, which is communicating to APRSIS32 developer version on a windows 10 laptop via Bluetooth. I have successfully ran this setup as a fill in digipeater and it works beautifully, as does using it as an rx igate. For some reason it refuses to be a two way igate though. I'll post some screenshots of everything that is setup but here it is in text format: TNC3 port activated and working on all other ways, APRS-IS enabled, Internet enabled,RF to IS and IS to RF boxes checked. I also have these checked under the TNC3 port options: Enabled, Bulletin/Obj, Messages, Xmit Enable, Beacon, and Telemetry. Me not 3rd is unchecked.
I am on our local UHF APRS 1200 frequency now as it is more quiet, but I have run the Digi log all day and there might be 1000+ RF to IS lines, but never a single IS to RF. I have no filters setup by myself. I also tried to send an sms message via smsgte, it made it to my cell since my gate is working as an RX one, but of course I never got the reply back on my HT via my FTM400 50 yards away because it wont TX. And yes, aprs is setup and operates perfectly on my HT via other peoples igates when I am on the typical 144.39 frequency so I know it isn't a radio setting problem. Any help would be fantastic!!! And thank you in advance. Screen shots below:

Did I test it? Yes, that's why I mentioned that you could test it yourself if you used APRSIS32 which includes a filter test capability, but only in a positive sense. READ the definition of the s filter from the quoted page:
Note that PRIMARY table symbols go after the first FORWARD slash and alternate table (ones that can use overlays) go after the SECOND slash and the overlays go after the THIRD slash and are CaSe SeNsItIvE. So, if we look at one of the stations you want to get rid of, say N7LOB-10 at http://aprs.fi/N7LOB-10 and then click on the Raw Packets link, we see that they all come from WINLINK and look like:
But APRSIS32 makes this easier by showing: N7LOB-10 Note that the symbol is Wa. This means alternate table (since the first character isn't /) symbol a with an overlay of W. Finding one of the DSTAR objects is a bit trickier since they have an embedded space, but if you search for KB7ZEN* in aprs.fi's Raw Packets display, you get:
Which APRSIS32 kindly describes as: KB7ZEN B Which is the same alternate table a symbol with an overlay of D.

What version of APRSIS32 does About show you? If it is the general release from 2012, there are certain packets that can cause it to crash.
