Are passcodes still available?


 

Hello group,
?
I followed directions from the wiki site to request a passcode for APRSISCE32. I've also emailed the group owner here. Never got a reply. I wanted to setup my KPC3+ TNC at home.
?
Is it still possible to get a passcode??

Your second request for a passcode was received at 11:37 today and a response was sent at 12:45pm indicating that the passcode had already been sent.

But that probably doesn't matter because I also see that you've unsubscribed from the group at 6:45pm today.

Remember folks, we have HUMANS working the passcode responses.? This is because the APRS-IS guidelines at says (emphasis their's):

passcode=computed passcode for your callsign. -1 is used for receive-only.?It is the responsibility of each software author to provide the proper passcode to their individual users on a request basis.?This is to aid in keeping APRS-IS restricted to amateur radio use only.

So please give us some consideration and rest assured that responses DO get sent.? Sometimes they end up in spam folders, and, believe it or not, sometimes the responses actually bounce back to us because the requesting address has extensive "I don't accept e-mail from anyone that's not in my contact list" protections on their account. ? winlink.com and outlook.com are especially famous for rejecting our responses.?? gmail.com rejects any e-mail coming from @arrl.net (give it a try yourself), so sometimes we need to modify the address from which we respond.

We try, but e-mail is not 100% guaranteed!? There's always something that can go worng (sic).

PS.? And the best part of this whole thing is that a passcode is only required for injecting packets to the APRS-IS and is not required to "setup my KPC3+ TNC", unless you really mean that you're trying to set up an IGate using your KPC3+?
