XASTIR developers: Xastir is one of the few actively maintained APRS clients. I need your help to make progress in APRS, specifically in the APRS-IS interface to RF. Please consider adding Igate-message-feedback-reporting to your Igate code. We need to improve the reliability of the APRS-IS by knowing what Igates do with IS-to-RF messages. By having the Igate send back a feedback-packet on each IS-to-RF packet that it gates, then we can have a deterministic system, instead of the TX-in-the-blind system we have now. Please see the web page: www.aprs.org/aprs12/Igate-path-report.txt OH, and to see why this is so important, please see about the Universal Ham Radio Text Messaging Initiative: www.aprs.org/aprs-messaging.html All of APRS will benefit if we make progress in this area... This may not make it to the xastir-dev grouip, since I had troubles getting signed up last time I remember... Thanks Bob, WB4APR _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
