I'm trying to set Xastir 1.9.9 up as a Digipeater, but I'm having no luck. I'm using a Siskin Tiny-2 TNC, and have got Xastir to see it in Serial Kiss mode, but it just sits there and receives and transmits nothing. What am I doing wrong?
The TNC itself needs to be in KISS mode, then either: *) Xastir needs to be set up to use a Serial KISS TNC interface to talk to it, or *) AX.25 networking needs to be set up so that the OS knows how to use the port as a networking port, then Xastir needs to have an AX25 TNC port set up to talk to it. Once you have Xastir transmitting/receiving the KISS packets to/from the TNC, you can enable the "Digipeat?" box on the interface to get Xastir to digipeat packets that have an unused WIDE1-1 field in the next available digipeater field. If you pick option #2 above then you can set up Digi_NED against the same port, leave digipeating in Xastir OFF, and have much better digipeating capabilities than Xastir will ever have. We only implemented fill-in digi capability in Xastir by design. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
