Testing some APRS paths here and we've noted a weird digipeating problem. I don't think it's linux particular but I'm not 100% sure. I can talk directly to a standard standalone digipeater called VK3RPP-1. On the other side of town is VK3JFK, a digipeater with an alias of WIDE with callsign substiution enabled, and another digipeater, VK3JFK-1, with the same alias. If I send packets via: VK3RPP-1 VK3JFK VK3JFK-1 VK3RPP-1 it works (packet gets all the way), VK3RPP-1 VK3JFK WIDE VK3RPP-1 it works, VK3RPP-1 VK3JFK-1 WIDE VK3RPP-1 it works, but VK3RPP-1 WIDE VK3JFK-1 VK3RPP-1 doesn't work (doesn't return), nor VK3RPP-1 WIDE VK3JFK VK3RPP-1 doesn't work, nor VK3RPP-1 WIDE WIDE VK3RPP-1. So anywhere that I have WIDE second doesn't work. It appears that the digipeaters do key the radio though. We don't yet know if they actually modulate the signal. JFK and JFK-1 are both running PacComm 5.0 TNC firmware [I think]. Anyone seen anything like this before? A couple of other stations have used these WIDE repeaters and they work OK (and obviously they both do in some paths -- as above). Very strange. My local station here is running the linux AX.25 stack. (Kernel 2.2.12.) VK3RPP-1 is running X1J4 or whatever it's called. Local packets were generated with 'beacon'. thanks Hamish VK3SB -- Hamish Moffatt Mobile: +61 412 011 176 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rising Software Australia Pty.
