Yup, What Rudy said is true. >From the limited stats I can see from your station, it has only reported via your UIview to APRS-IS through your connection to APRS-IS, when you had it Igateing traffic. Your RF isn't being decoded. So listen to your TX with a receiver. Use the CAL command to put it in TX. Listen, is it too soft, too loud? Adjust TX deviation using the CAL command (+ -). If XMITLVL is set at default 100, that's your problem. The last Alinco I looked at needed an XMITLVL of around 265 to achieve a dev of 3.0Khz. The default of 100 was sub-audible (.8Khz).
If that doesn't bring you joy, then look at your TX delay. 30 is the stupid 1993 default setting of 300ms. Set it to around 15 (150ms) Here is the manual, you might want to study it, http://www.kantronics.com/documents/kpc-3plus_manual_RevD.pdf Since you don't want to run an Igate (usually the best help to an area). Set it up as a Fillin digi. That will forward real traffic, not old stale crap from your nearby Digi "appliance user" he is running several of his Digi's and a WX station running "WIDE". (What's wrong with Kansas?) Please look at your States Coordinator for help with local settings, here is a link that might bring you valuable local info. http://skynet.entz.net/webpages/shorty/kcaprs/ (It is a few years old but probably good info) The page has is a list of "Elmers" in Kansas that are willing to help you out. The folling will show you how to setup a KPC-3+ as a stand alone Fillin digi, http://www.aprs.org/newN/WIDE1-1settings.txt Good luck, hope this helps.

I can't figure out what changed at my location. Perhaps I should get my other Alinco with the T2, and connect it to my base antenna.
