Since I am having the problem stated I already have the radio and T2-135. Even if I use it as a mobile tracker i would want the ability for it to decode direct signals rather than only those that have been digipeated (this is afterall the problem i am facing) - Perhaps I should not have put in the other info in the beginning...
It is actually quite frustrating this problem. i have tried the remote access thing for the radio - sending it a message from my TH7DAG handheld. If i turn on my home digipeater the T2-135 decodes the digipeated message, direct it does not. Using another opentracker device - same deal. The problem is that it only decodes packets that have come from a digipeater - mobile stations that have been nearby that my handheld decodes no problem - the T2-135 gets good signal strength, but no decode. If through a digipeater - no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am quickly becoming a balder man hihi --- In [email protected], "Keith VE7GDH" <ve7...@...> wrote: > > Bob VK2ABP wrote... > > > the IGate/fill-in that I am currently running is not the T2-135 based > > solution.
