Hi Chris.....i have moved from the outer suburbs of Townsville (Black River)
into a more central are of the city to the suburb of Kirwan
this was done for health reasons....1.3 acres is too much to look after
and we need to shops.hospital,doctors etc
im back on air with JT56 but im very limited for antenna space...no room for
hexbeam or dipole... have a S9V18 by LDG for 20m to 6m in the air works
quite well if prop is reasonable.

I have been using the IGATE setup that comes with Xastir both mobile
and at home
never had any problems; only problem I have is when I set radius for
500+miles there is a station that is setup 24/7 with an Emergency
beacon kinda frustrating at times
BTW Dave have you moved from Queensland?

Hi Lee.....thanks...
i have had Xastir set up as you say for a long time BUT have never
seen it work as an I-gate in the way aprsg is at the present time.....
i know it should work and have tried to find out why not but i havent
got too much hair to keep pulling it out HI HI

Hi David,
In Xastir, under File-Configure-Defaults in the menu, there is a
section
labeled IGate Options. Check the box that says "Allow RF to Inet
and Inet
to RF traffic", and click OK. Then under Interface-Interface
Control in
the menu, select your AX25 interface and click the Properties
button. The
same Igate options that are in the defaults menu are there. Check
the same
box for RF to Inet and Inet to RF, and click OK. In the Inet to RF
direction, this will gate only messages.

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.
