Sorry for any confusion - the igate/fill-in that I am currently running is not the T2-135 based solution. I am looking at that for a remote / solar setup on a friend's property.
Basically if i cannot to the TNC via serial i can see it decodes the packets from a digipeater - but it does not decode any packets direct. This is the same for if using UI-View32 obviously. So please disregard the things you see online - they are from a different igate/fillin, and from a different mobile device (although the T2-135 does seem to work fine as a mobile device - just it only hears things from a digipeater) cheers, Bob - VK2ABP --- In [email protected], "Alan" <a...@...> wrote: > > A few things: > > APRS.fi has been having a heard station bug for the past day or so.
