Help setting up I-gate - FTM-500
|
New to aprs and trying to setup my FTM-500 in my house as an I-gate With aprisce32. I can't seem to get RF received on my station to forward to APRS-IS, at least, I can't see any traffic showing up in my area on APRS-FI.
I am receiving traffic and it shows in APRSIS on my computer. I can see my mobile KQ4LMY-9, beaconing in my driveway, but it doesn't show on an online map. My home station shows on aprs-fi, but it is being seen by a digi-peater 35mi away to the NE or another 33 miles to the SW.
?
FTM-500 is connected to computer via Yaesu SCU-56 cable. Made FTM-500 port using FTM-350 setting. Internet is provided via starlink.
?
Log files are attached. Any help would be appreciated.
?
Thanks,
Brent

开云体育Well, the log file attachments didn't get here. Also, it is always good to provide full details of your configuration.? I can see that KQ4LMY is likely your FTM-500 and KQ4LMY is also "aprs.fi via Web", but I don't see any station under your base callsign that appears to be running APRSIS32? What is the callsign-SSID of your IGate instance? Does it have IGating enabled on both the RF port and the APRS-IS port? Do you have a valid passcode configurated for your station's base callsign? Do you have Enables / Internet Access checked? You say that you are "receiving traffic" and "it shows in APRSIS", but what exactly do you mean by that??? Are you seeing *-flagged packets in the packet scroller? If you double-click the top left box ("APRS-IS OK" hopefully), do you see traffic on the configured FTM-350-type port??? Similar to (Ctrl-C on this popup will copy the contents):
Port Status There are so many things that play into this, but the defaults for all of those settings would give you a functioning IGate (except for the passcode). But the first thing we need to know is the exact callsign-SSID of your APRSIS32 IGate instance. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE

开云体育I searched some of my logs and find that you DID gate some packets to the APRS-IS, but you are running your APRSIS32 instance as KQ4LMY which is the same as your radio.? For debugging issues, and avoiding confusion, it is best that ever single APRS "thing", be it hardware, software, or firmware, uses a unique -SSID to allow for knowing what is doing what to whom and when.

开云体育Correction, that log doesn't necessarily show that packets were gated, but only that RF packets were received on an RF-looking port by an APRSIS32 instance called KQ4LMY. And in that log I see that you also have a KQ4LMY-9 which is likely a Yaesu FTM-300D, at least according to the Mic-E type indicator characters in the packets. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE

开云体育?I’m not sure Starlink will allow you to pass traffic to it. I don’t think the router will allow it. I’ve had the same issues with Echolink.? Rick N9NWI On Oct 6, 2024, at 4:37?PM, Lynn Deffenbaugh <kj4erj@...> wrote:

Lynn,

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I'm a little late responding, but I developed a high fever yesterday. Uggg:-(
I will look at your suggestions and do a little more troubleshooting.

Rick, you may be right, that's the reason I mentioned it in my post. Hope to find a solution, need an igate in my area.
