[Xastir] IGating APRS OBJECTS?

2008-03-06 Thread Marek Kozubal
Hello! I have recently installed a script onto my EchoIRLP node computer that puts the IRLP status out as an object packet to APRS. The script only sends the information to the internet. I want my XAstir IGate to forward this packet to RF when it comes over the internet, esp since the IGate

Thanks that did it! There's a lot of conflicting information when one forgets to look at the dates of email lists (like in 2003 this wouldn't have worked!) Also is there a master list of the nws stations some place with all the varients for different warnings and watches and the like?

Looking at the DB0ANF page I realized that the report is named APRS Stations using USAM as their Digi / Uplink - this appears to mean that the report shows stations that were either digi'ed OR iGated by a particular station. So it appears that I was in error to believe that DB0ANF reports

Hi Alex - I don't think so. Once a server receives the packet it will not send on the same packet if it hears it come in from a different igate or server. Imagine this: One server (we'll call it A) has 5 different igates connected to it from one area and another server (we'll call it B) has 5

How do I use Findu to see if I am IGating? The tool mentioned by VE7MKF is a better iGate 'test' than Findu. However if you know you are iGating someone (or think you are) you can look them up in findu and see their raw data. Just change the callsign to the one that you are interested
