I did get a subsequent pop up that I caught while it was flashing and it did have that option so I clicked Stop Flashing. I suspect they time out after some period of time. ?I will monitor whether it has muted those alerts.?

Interesting/Funny story regarding Priority msgs. ?
When I first setup APRS on my Yaesu FT5D I was using priority status during the configuration testing. Finished and put it away. ?About an hour later two deputy sheriff’s showed up at my door for a welfare check that was called in by a fire dept about
60 miles away that saw my beacon. ?At least we know someone is listening!!

Re: APRS iGate stopped working!
Let's take this one step at a time.?? First to answer some
mis-statements that I read in various responses in this thread:
1) aprs.fi and the APRS-IS in general are NOT the place to
determine if your IGate is working.? Nor are they reliable for ANY
APRS RF analysis.?? Due to the APRS-IS dupe suppression, only the
FIRST gated instance of any packet are propagated through the
network.? If a new IGate was brought up in your vicinity that is
even slightly faster than your's, none of your gated packets will
show up on the APRS-IS and therefore will also not appear on
aprs.fi.
2) The zoom level of the APRSIS32 display has nothing to do with
what packets are gated.?? There was one statement that alluded
that your range is limited based on your zoom.? While it may be
true that some filters are modified by the zoom of a window, those
filters only determine what packets are sent TO your client FROM
the APRS-IS.?? APRSIS32 will forward ALL RF-received packets to
the APRS-IS by default unless you've messed with settings.
Now, to diagnose your IGate:
1) Listen to 144.390 (or whatever your local APRS frequency is)
and make sure you are at least audibly hearing packets.?? If not,
check your radio and antenna.?? It is important that you do this
audio test on the radio you are using for you IGate!
2) Diagnose your TNC with a terminal emulator or other suitable
software (telnet?) depending on its connection to the APRSIS32
computer.?? Even in KISS mode, you should see something from the
TNC whenever a packet is decoded.? If you see nothing, then check
the audio connections between the TNC and your radio and/or the
tuning parameters of the TNC itself.?? Or possibly the serial (or
other) connection to the TNC.
3) If you pass those tests, then bring up the
Port(<YourPortName>) trace log and enable? it.? Then disable
and enable your RF port to see what the trace shows.? Then wait
for packets to be received and see what the trace log shows.
4) Check the various IGate(*) trace logs.? Enable them and watch
what they say or do not say.
5) See if any of the packets showing up in the packet scroller
have an asterisk on them.?? Those indicate RF-received packets.
And finally, if you're asking for help, please include all of the
details of your station!?? AB9NN-48 is a really strange -SSID for
an IGate.?? What radio??? What TNC??? What connection from the TNC
to the APRSIS32 computer??? What port type are you using in
APRSIS32??? What changed between when it was working and when it
wasn't working?? Inquiring minds need to know these things to
formulate reasonable suggestions.

Re: APRS iGate stopped working!
Judging 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.?

Re: APRS iGate stopped working!
My apologies to the group. I do see a metric option for measurements. I selected metric and my most
zoomed in level went from feet(') to meters(m). Not my day!
I'll slink back into the corner now.

Re: APRS iGate stopped working!
Rob, I interpreted the OP’s image at miles, I don’t see a metric notation anywhere. Yeah, where did I come up with 22 miles. LOL Perhaps I’m confusing posts. ? Anyhoo, my zooming in/out results in SAE measurements. ? ?

The screen shot I saw had 4m (4 meters) for the range.
Where are you seeing 22 miles?

Re: APRS iGate stopped working!
Jon, your range was limited to 22 miles at that juncture. So yes, your gating was/is restricted.

Jon, all, this is my screen at maximum zoom level. Scroller red and take note of the radius of view. SEVENTEEN FEET! Jon's zoom level isn't that drastic, at what I presume is 22 miles.

Thanks!? Does that mean that no APRS packets will be iGated by my computer into the internet and therefore will not show up on ?

The scroller will turn red if you have "Freeze on click" configured, and you click on the scroller. No incoming messages wil display.

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?

Re: APRS iGate stopped working!
I just noticed your screenshot, so ignore my answer. The other response was correct ,that you are zoomed in. The bar gets shorter and changes color as you zoom out.

I should have mentioned, click anywhere outside the scroller to release it.
