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 in... Looking at Findu's
raw data is a good way to force yourself to learn how to read raw APRS
packets ;)

I'm also thinking that Findu is tweaked or at least the data is stale
right now. I went out and blasted a packet from my truck to my iGate
and Findu does not report it either via its raw or map page. However
if I look at the www.db0anf.de page for my iGate I can see that it saw
my iGate gating my truck very recently. Hmmm, anybody have any idea
why Findu is stale (or why my brain is on vacation)? ;)

So it was just my supposition that Findu was current, and nothing that I
was doing wrong.
Way cool. Since the RF pollution is so high here, I am trying to lower
it some to that low power stations can be heard, or at least stand a
chance. As it has been, there was not much chance for the low power
stations in this area getting heard. My hope is that once heard and
gated here, then the need to repeatedly be digipeated will be lowered.
