¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJudging by the messages I got back when I queried you station it looks like you've lost connection with your 857. What is the connection to that??
I'm gonna guess it's the tt4 that you mentioned in the tiny trak group. Is the yellow light flashing at all when packets are heard??
It may need power cycled. There is a known issue with the tt4 randomly locking up on bad packets but they have not been identified on what packets they are.?
My digi gate and my buddy's digi both power cycle every night and we have not noticed the lockups since we started the cycles.?

Subject: [APRSISCE] APRS iGate stopped working!
What the???? My iGate which was processing nicely virtually all the APRS traffic in our rural area for many monts seemingly just stopped working.? I checked my radio, correct frequency, etc. and checked my cables.? Nothing seems wrong.? I took a quick
look at the APRSIS32 screen and saw a few odd things.? One is that the bar on the left side of the screen is red.? Not sure that is right.? Also, there are two objects on the screen, both of which are me.? One is ME which I believe is AB9NN-48, my base station
igate and is centered on the screen. The other is AB9NN? which is NW of center.? That is my callsign.? Why would there be two objects showing up?? I know it's not processing any APRS packets because I just drove my mobile multiple times and it always proceesses
them even though there is another digipeter in the area.? That digipeater doesn't have the footprint that I do and I process 99.99% of the APRS traffic in the area when my iGate is working.
What steps should I take to resolve this?? I also did a test transmission to a repeater across Lake Michigan to ensure it wasn't the coax or the antenna and I was able to raise the repeater with an S10 signal returned. Thanks! |
