Hi Lee. i bow to your superior knowledge
i have aprsg running on Ubuntu 14.04 .....i have config it to do the
same as our other local I-gate which is off the air at this
time..using FT-2800 to TNC-X
it takes messages from APRS-IS and TX to the local APRS repeater....
the incoming Igate area is limited to 1300 kms so that i dont flood
the repeater with too much signals.
I have heard that Xastir can IGATE but have only seen how to configure
it as a Digipeater...how can Xastir be set up to do what im doing with
aprsg

Hi.....agree that update would be good
ability to have an included igate that can be configured
to my knowledge linux only has 3 igate programs worth looking at
aprsg,aprx2,dixprs....the only one ive got working is aprsg....the
other
two i cant get to work with a AX25 port and a TNC-x...at least i
havent got
the configs correct will keep trying.
Those are the small programs ideal for running "headless". I've tried
all 3 of them - aprsg is not good as a Tx Igate because it can't be
limited
to gate only messages to RF, which is standard. I like the format of
the
text config file for aprsg - may have been a little easier than aprx or
dixprs, but I have been able to get all of them to work. Dixprs is a
bit
tricky when you first try it with AX25 because the ax25 port is
referenced
as "ax0" or "ax1", etc. as the case may be instead of referencing the
name
of the ax25 interface in /etc/ax25/axports like other software does.
In Linux, Xastir already supports Igating, and so does YAAC.
JavAPRSIgate
also runs in Linux, which is an adjunct to javAPRSServr. Also aprsd
works
as an Igate, and APRSIS32 runs fine in wine, so Linux has a lot more
choices than those 3. I understand DireWolf also can Igate, but I've
not
tried it.
