I am new to APRS and am trying to set up my FTM-300 so that it acts as an igate by feeding RF spots to ARRSIS and also so these are visible on aprs.fi
?
My FTM-300 is configured as M0NMA-9
APRSIS is set up as M0NMA-10
I am testing spots using an FT2D (M0NMA-1) handheld, beaconing on 50mW, so its range is very limited to avoid being spotted by other igates.
?
My FTM-300 is spotting M0NMA-1 as well as other traffic (mainly gateways like MB7UM and MB7VH).
?
On the map display I can see M0NMA-10, 9 and 1 displayed on the screen and I see RF spots appearing on the scroller (with asterisk), but only M0NMA-1. Earlier spots of M0NMA-1 are going through a portable igate (a Venus X1C5 Plus).
?
If I go on to APRS.fi, there is no sign of any spots, so I presume I need to do something to tell APRSIS to send the data it is seeing on to the internet?
?
Where do I need to look? I can't see anything obvious in the manual or the menus.
?
Thanks in advance
