Re: APRS iGate stopped working!
I should have mentioned, click anywhere outside the scroller to release it.

The scroller will turn red if you have "Freeze on click" configured, and you click on the scroller. No incoming messages wil display.
Ben Miller, PE retired KD9BBB
Not sure how to answer this with so little information.
I am pretty sure the RED on the far left is because you are zoomed in to "maximum".??As you zoom out, the color will change.
? ?The reason only 2 objects are on screen and no map detail?is also because of how "zoomed in" you are.
? ?So from your comments, I would guess the screen was zoomed in by accident.
? ?The next logical question would be what else changed "unexpectedly".
Why do you think your IGATE isn't working?
? ?Is the scroller working?

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!

I have sent you a second copy to the email. I cannot send it through the group or everyone? will know your passcode, try using an address other than if you still do not receive it!

I send out an email over the weekend to get my Passcode. Does anyone know what the turn around time averages? I haven¡¯t heard anything?
Really want to see what I can do with this ?

It seems as if the only ack should come from the device with the correct SSID, but this isn't clear.

Re: Advice on "hijacking topics"
Even spoken conversations wander to different topics, it's human nature. "Hijacking" implies an intentional taking over someone else's thread. Maybe the admins should take a more active role. But then threads are free. If one gets out of hand just start a new one.?

Re: Advice on "hijacking topics"
I agree with number 2 also, but when I complained in ANOTHER group I belong to someone?who hijacked my post suggested that I had got out of the wrong side of the bed!!!? ?Arggggggg!!!!!!!

?I tell users on my forums the same thing.
There are 2 main reasons for starting a new topic, rather than posting new question inside old topics:
1. It is much easier to scan subjects when doing a search for something your "need to know"
2. The BEST users who give advice may have stopped following the current subject before you post a new topic within it.
To me, the second point is most important!
