You can use http://www.jfindu.net/lastreports.aspx?call=XYZ where XYZ is the repeater callsign without any SSID. This will show your IGates reporting. If they are reporting, then they are reporting to APRS-IS. You can connect to your gateway via SSH and telnet to the proper serial port for the repeater you are trying to use. This can be deterined from the javaprssrvrx.cfg file for the repeater you are using. It will be in the range 24580 to 24583. This will let you see the serial data that is being seen at your repeater site. With issues like this where you have properly set the C1 message and have GPS lock, you will see bit errors in the serial data (one garbled character is all it takes to invalidate the position report). The good news is that this is usually pretty obvious. If you don't see any data, check to make sure you have the repeater in RPT1 and the gateway in RPT2. Hope this helps. 73, Pete Loveall AE5PL
