Hi Hamish,
aprsd doesnt allow a JavAPRS filter to be specified when it connects
to servers/hubs/igates. Typically you need to do this if you connect
to the user defined filter port (14580) on a remote javAPRS host.
Patch to extend the igate lines in aprsd.conf is attached, along
with some documentation in aprsd.conf. The patch is real simple
(I don't even know C++...)
Would you consider including it in the debian build, or even pushing
it upstream ? I only did it on igate lines because: a) That suited my
needs, and b) It was quick and easy. Patch could be easily extended
to hit server and hub lines as well.
I use this so I can just pull the telemetry from PCSAT, PCSAT2, and
friends, and then connect multiple aprstlm clients to my local (same LAN)
aprsd server, instead of connecting them all up to a Tier 2 server.
I guess this is a slightly different use for aprsd than a lot of folks,
but no less valid, and does help reduce my bandwidth requirements.
All the Best
Iain
