I've got a TT4 with Alpha 0.64 firmware up and running as an Igate. Seems to
be OK but I'm running it in KISS mode with the Serial KISS interface.
When I look at my raw packets on APRS.fi I only see my twice per hour beacon
being sent out. I think this because I'm in KISS mode but not sure. Is that
true?
Nope.
So if I want to act as a fill-in digi I need to drop that and use the serial
TNC interface. Right?
Nope. To work as a digi of any kind you need access to the raw bits
in the AX.25 header, which means either AX.25 kernel mode + KISS for
the TNC, or Serial KISS Interface + KISS TNC.
And what is the correct startup and stop files to use? They default to
tnc-startup.sys and tnc-stop,sys. Other than uncomment out the line to use
my alias as WIDE1-1, what else should I change?
KISS mode doesn't use startup files at all.
Check File->Config->Default to make sure you're set up as a 2-way
igate there, then check your Serial KISS interface and make sure
it's set up similarly, plus that the Digipeat? box is checked there.
