I've noticed a lot of people these days only do/recognize top-posting, so I'm
going against my better nature and top-posting this comment.
1) Which "author" are you talking about? We have many developers (16 at last
count), plus a whole lot of users who answer questions on the mailing list. If a
non-developer answers a question so much the better! Many users know a whole lot more
about using the program than some developers do plus it frees up developer time for other
activities.
2) Check the email thread to see if responses have gotten hidden that you never
read:
2a) Many people (including me) by default respond AFTER your text or
intersperse our answers in-between your questions. Many email packages hide
those responses underneath a little line that you have to click on to see.
2b) If multiple responses came in since you last checked your inbox and you're
in threaded mode, you probably only see the most recent response. You need to
dig a little to see all of them.
Personally I use GMail, tell it NOT to thread, but then do most of my email
work inside Alpine on Linux: I'm not on the web-based or phone-based email
except in rare circumstances. I don't miss any responses due to threading and
no interspersed responses are hidden.
For more info, see below, plus read other messages that may have been hidden
from you due to threading.

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 ()
###### EX0CK-10 Standalone digi (KPC-3+)###################

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?
