Hello Danny,
I am helping a friend of mine EX0CK from Kyrgistan setup an iGate
(EX0CK-1 with a Kantronics KPC-3 v8.2) which seems to be working well
with Xastir, or at least it is beaconing and is visible on
www.aprs.fi. However, we are trying to also setup a DiGiPeater in the
same area (EX0CK-10 with a Kantronics KPC-3+ v9.1 ) just as a
digipeater for a project we are working on. The KPC-3+ is standalone
and is not interfaced with any software. We want EX0CK-1 (KPC-3
connected to Xastir) to be an iGate and EX0CK-10 (KPC-3+) to be a
digipeater only.
For the EC0CK-1 digi, what paths do you want it to support? WIDE1-1
only? WIDE2-1 and WIDE1-1 only?
Next, can you send us a copy of the packet string that the EX0CK-10 is
beaconing out that you're hoping to see on APRS.FI (via EX0CK-1)? You
can use various tools to inspect your string to make sure it's ok such as:
#example from
https://aprs-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/parse_formats.html
#
sudo pip install aprslib
python
import aprslib
aprslib.parse("FROMCALL>TOCALL:!4903.50N/07201.75W-Test /A=001234")
quit ()

LTP
1 APN382 VIA WIDE2-2
2 APN382
3 APN382
4 APN382
These look wrong as I would expect this to be "APN391" for your KPC3+
v9.1 TNC. Seems you mistakenly cut and pasted from a different TNC.
MYCALL EX0CK-1 0
Why is there a space in there? You should read the recommended APRS
configuration setup from WB4APR -
http://www.aprs.org/kpc3/kpc3+WIDEn.txt . Specifically, you ideally put
a LOCATION name in there like "BISHKEK"
MYALIAS WIDE1-1
This is wrong. Per the above URL, set this to something useless like NONE
MYDROP 0
MYNODE EX0CK-1 0
Why is there a space in here as well?
PACLEN 0
Not sure why you overrode the default of 128 bytes here though I don't
think it will hurt you
TXDELAY 18
Are you sure this is enough time for your radio to key up? Until you
get things working 100%, I would recommend to set this to something
conservative like 30 (aka.. 300ms)
UIDIGI ON WIDE1-1
Are you sure you don't want to support WIDE2-1 as well?
