Re: APRS iGate stopped working!

 

Wooo Hooo!? It's now seemingly working as it has been.? I had my receive amp on the Tiny Traker 4 at 47.? Sure I hadn't changed anything but it wasn't receiving what it should have been so I turned it up more.? Same results.? I re-read the manual and it said signals should monitor at between 50 and 80 I think it was.? So I tweaked it to about 65 and now it works.? I think it was too high and the signals were distorting resulting in partial and sparadic captures that you documented so kindly.? Because of my station disorganization I would have sworn it was cable or connection.? Glad this is what it was.? Was starting to think maybe the radio was fried.? Thanks again so much for your time.? Hope someone else that stumbles upon this thread will also get some help out of it.? 73!? I attached a screen print to show it is now working and my mobile is being iGated through my base station at home.? I will assume the times are either correct or have no bearing on the correct processing of the packets into APRS.FI and such.

The Time in the upper left corner is actually the Transmit Pressure.?? You can read about it at:

The thin colored bars at the bottom of that pane are also documented that that wiki page.

And yes, the trace logs are UTC time, hence the T separator although technically I should also have a Z or Z+00:00 but that seemed a bit verbose.? ()?? The "TOO LONG" indicates that additional data was received from the TCP/IP stack beyond the # logresp packet, which is likely normal depending on the speed of your PC and the Internet connection.? It's part of the wonders of CR/LF delimited packets being parsed from a TCP/IP streaming socket.

In fact, this is a frequent newb TCP/IP programming misteak (sic) where they "assume" (with all the connotations of that word) that a single read will only and always get a single packet (line of text, in the case of the APRS-IS) from a socket.?? In local testing with fast loopback or Ethernet connections, it seems to work, the read always returns just the data that was written in a single write.? But when deployed to the field with the vagaries of actual Internet connections and traffic routing, a single read may have a partial packet, a full packet (which is all they expected), a full packet plus part of the next packet, or even multiple packets possibly ending with a partial packet.

Yes, the upper left corner shows the time until your next beacon.

Ok, I just double-checked the source and the timestamp in the ?APRSS response is actually the timestamp that the port entered the current state.?? I now remember doing this so that you can see if your RF or -IS port is going through state transitions.?? So the following lines

04-30 07:52:19 APRS-IS OK 497 493 480 65 /hr
04-30 07:52:19 FT857d OK 192 59 189 32 /hr

mean that those ports became "OK" at that (localtime) timestamp.?? My apologies for crying wolf when there was no need.

Those look correct.?? Based on the log captures and aprs.fi's raw packet view, it definitely appears that you are having intermittent RF reception (or at least, getting the packets into APRSIS32) and either your instance is not running 24x7 or it is also having APRS-IS connectivity issues.?? The first bit comes from the RF packet capture logs as well as the >IGATE packets from aprs.fi's raw view.?? The last part is inferred by the lack of even beacon packets in aprs.fi's raw packet views for AB9NN-48.

For instance, on the 2nd bit, the gap in beacon timestamps at

First, your machine doesn't seem to know what time it is given that here at 17:00 east coast time it showed me 08:10 where you are in Michigan.

Second, those two zeros in the middle tell me that 3 and 4 hours ago, you received zero packets from the RF port that you called FT857d.?? And 2 hours ago appears incomplete because it only shows 8 packets in that hour.?? So I really think you need to look at the RF reception and decoding for your IGate as the numbers and logs seem to indicate that's where the problem is.

I've attached my APRS monitor logs for your station from both RF reports and -IS gated packet captures for the 20s of April.?? Your AB9NN-48 IS IGating some packets, but on the RF side, it is very intermittent as to when it is copying packets and when it is not sending anything via UDP to my backend logger.? Are you sure everything about your station is stable?? Or do you not run it 24x7?

According to your station last beaconed 12 hours ago.?? And eye-balling the <IGATE reports, it appears that there are extended periods where your DIR_CNT and RF_CNT are both zero indicating that APRSIS32 is not receiving anything from the RF port.?? No packets = No IGate, obviously.?? And there are also time ranges where an <IGATE packet wasn't even generated.?? I'd have to look at the source to remind myself what that might mean, but it may mean that all of the values are zero.

If you double-click the upper left corner box, you should get a "Port Status" window that will show you the packet rates per hour for the most recent (left) 8 hours.?? If your RF port isn't showing any traffic, then by definition, APRSIS32 won't be gating because nothing was received to forward on to the APRS-IS.

You'll see a BIG difference between the RF logged packets and the ones that show your station as gating the first copy of the packet to the APRS-IS.? I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to track down why other directly-received RF packets are not in the -IS log.?? Likely some other station was faster and gating the packet.? Maybe a new IGate is up and running in your area?

My port in APRSIS32 is mislabled as FT857d as I used to that that radio and simply didn't change the name when I reconfigured it.

Cables have been the same for close to a year.? I have the correct chip(s) in the cables asn I know they worked for a long time and I have not changed them.

I have attached as screen shot of my Enables for your reference.? I am thinking that with all the checking I have done it must be some simple little setting that I am miissing.? I will dig into the logs today.? Hope this helps clarify things!


Re: Follow me???

 

I’m still trying to figure out my original problem. I’ve lost track since other people have asked questions about their “problems “

If anyone knows the answer to my question… the first one on this thread. Please let me know. I may have missed it in an earlier response.?
