Bingo (I think). [NB: Both stations are TX'ing minimum power and are not in coverage of any other digis. Both have no antenna connected] Ok, so another hard reset later, I have set the TNC up in terminal mode. I have used this page http://www.ke4nyv.com/aprs.htm to set CALL, BEACON EVERY etc. I have set the TNC up on xastir using the startup script (the node is EI8FDB-10) When I start everything up and then beacon from the handheld (EI8FDB-7) I get: # 1196540189 Sat Dec 01 20:16:29 GMT 2007 EI8FDB-7>USRQPU,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2:'|-$l [/>home # 1196540310 Sat Dec 01 20:18:30 GMT 2007 EI8FDB-7>USRQPU,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2:'|-$l [/> # 1196540414 Sat Dec 01 20:20:14 GMT 2007 EI8FDB-7>USRQPU,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2:'|-$l [/>home # 1196540522 Sat Dec 01 20:22:02 GMT 2007 EI8FDB-7>USRQPU,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2:'|-$l [/> When I send a msg from -7 to -10 I get: # 1196539999 Sat Dec 01 20:13:19 GMT 2007 EI8FDB-10>APX191,WIDE2-2::EI8FDB-7 :hello! ack{0n}I # 1196540007 Sat Dec 01 20:13:27 GMT 2007 EI8FDB-10>APX191,WIDE1-1::EI8FDB-7 :hello! ack{0n}I # 1196540011 Sat Dec 01 20:13:31 GMT 2007 EI8FDB-7>APK001,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2::EI8FDB-10:ack0n}I For IGate options I have setup: For the interface: Allow RF to Inet only For global: Allow RF to Inet and Inet to RF. When I check on APRS-IS servers for the location of EI8FDB-7 I get: http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=EI8FDB-7 http://www.db0anf.de/hamweb/aprsdb/showdata/EI8FDB-7/shdigiusage So, my ultimate question: this proves the -7 SSID was IGated by -10? If this is the case, then I think this setup is ready to be tried on the Ubuntu setup. Any feedback? Suggestions? Thanks Tom, I owe you a virtual pint/glass of soda. bernard EI8FDB _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
