GPS mode: you must set your message per the calculator at http://www.aprs-is.net/dprscalc.aspx This ensures bit errors do not get propagated to APRS. This is not needed for GPS-A mode as GPS-A mode always contains a CRC.
The DVAP is like the DV-Dongle: it attaches to the repeater system via the gateway. For a number of reasons, the D-PRS IGates on the gateway only monitor traffic received from the RP2C (repeater controller). Therefore, position reports received via a DVAP will not be seen by the D-PRS IGates and will not be inserted into APRS-IS. However, the DV-Dongle software supports a TCP port that allows D-PRS Interface (also available for free at http://www.aprs-is.net/dprs.aspx) to act as your IGate on your PC. If the DVAP software supports this TCP port, you are good to go by just downloading D-PRS Interface, installing it, configuring it to talk to your DVAP, and configuring it to connect to APRS-IS. Hope this helps. 73, Pete AE5PL --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, "n7bcp" <n7bcp.la...@...> wrote: > > Running an IC-92AD with the GPS mic and have been unable to have my position > reported on J-FindU.
