IGATE not forwarding to RF


 

Hello everyone.
?
?
Computer: Lenovo M720 mini
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Software: APRSICE32,?
UzZ7HO sound modem
Radio: Kenwood TM201B
Interface: Rigblaster Pro.?
?
?
I am running an IGATE on the above equipment and am having some issues with the IGATE not passing messages to RF.?
For instance; I use my FT5D to send a message to my buddy that also use a FTM500 but the message stays on the IGATE same thing happens when he sends to me, both of us are always in range of the IGATE, but if I send from radio to someone using APRSDROID the messages reaches them and I get replies from them, the messages just won't go from radio to radio, could I be missing something, anyone has a fix for this and willing to share I certainly will appreciate it.?

Good morning Dexter,

I believe that you got the Why message on the APRS forum. If you take a look at this link it will help you figure out how to make APRSISCE a digipeater. Reach out if you need more assistance



Editing the XML must be done with the application Closed or it will not take effect as closing the application overwrites the xml file with those settings.

My home iGate/Digi is set up as a WIDE1-1 Digi and works for digi, and message traffic as I believe you are attempting to accomplish.

Sorry Dexter but I am not familiar with any of that equipment, the droid element proves part of it is working.
If you have made no changes to radio the program and other hooked up equipment, apart from a reboot of the equipment check the hook ups are ok and if you have any spares swap them out, Windows has been issuing?some dodgy updates lately in both Win 11 and win 10 and I had to use the roll back to a previous time to get one of my programs?working again, mainly a USB issue

Try that and hopefully Rob KB8RCO who will no doubt read this later may offer better help, if it turns out to be my suggestion take the knobs of your laptop and put a lock on Windows updates, check the update history and see if one was new at the start of this

Hope that is of some help

Steve,

On the APRS group it was discussed that because they are both local RF for his IGate that it won't send the message back out from IS because it sees both are local RF. So I believe he simply needs to become a WIDE1-1 Digi and it will resolve the issue.

Thanks for that advice Adam, KC2ANT,
I have seen you offer good sound advice many times in this and other reflectors, thank-you for the timely pick up too,
I know especially at weekends how busy everyone is this time of year.

I would also like to thank my late boss's son Paul KJ4DXK for taking?up ownership of this group, I think he promised me 1.5percent more than dads generous pay!
Your too generous Mr Deffenbaugh Sir KJ4ERJ SK, it?took me some time to remember your call, but it is firmly etched in my callbook now , you gave us a worthy team leader who has your generous?traits in dedication to duty and a willingness?to let me work longer and harder for less....Sorry 1.5 percent more ...sorry new boss don't fire me please!
Paul knows and understands that I am not able to travel at the moment, but as I am not actually in the USA otherwise I would have moved heaven and Earth to say goodbye to our very good friend, I have told Paul that business will be suspended on the day Of Lynn's funeral during the time of the service so that I and others can pay our respects?privately....normal service will resume afterwards on the reflector and I will be standing by to wait for the CQ, as Paul has assured me he has a copy of the IS manual with him, Thank you for staying with me this far and thank you everyone for your understanding at this very difficult time for the family and friends of Lynn Deffenbaugh KJ4ERJ Silent key, Bless you all!

Dexter,
as you are using aprsisce you are always entitled to ask a question especially if you think there is a connection issue to the program and/or
any equipment used in conjunction with aprsisce, In the first instance when I read through your post I failed to read the last line of your post and that is MY fault and certainly not yours, I would have known instantly as the former operator of busy Igates in 2 States in the USA I had also seen a similar issue in the past.

For others reading this post just a little background about myself,

I am not the most technical person in the World and KJ4ERJ SK I think understood when I offered to admin in his passcode service that its something I have done for more than 20 years for two different giants in the World of APRS. Formerly Roger Barker G4IDE of UiView32 fame who I both beta tested his program for several years before learning he had just Months to live from cancer, his passcode and registration service for UiView 32 dried up instantly and I knew him well enough to ask him through an immediate family member if I could run it for him until further help came along from a great bunch of fellow hams and friends that stepped forward to continue help and support.
For quite a few months and on my own I ran the passcode and registration service and his program was a paid for service so this was converted to a Free but please donate to any cancer charity that you would care for, he agreed to that format and I with help carried that on until UiView registration became automated.

I joined up with KJ4ERJ SK at about this time and around almost a decade ago now gave up entirely to help Lynn until the present date and hopefully until I too go to meet my friends who are SK in heaven or wherever APRS actually takes us!

I have used the aprs?written by the Sproul brothers, UiView32 and latterly? APRSISCE32 and as my active radio days have gone I only used a pc copy of Lynns wonderful creation and have never used it connected to any form of RF.

I have operated Igates using a VX5r, Kenwoods D700 and D710 and an Icom 706Mk?II G both mobile and at the qth.

As I have mostly stayed very quiet on this reflector, the admin side along with my many other hobbies including aviation, SatComs for marine messaging keep me very busy and WX reporting keep me far from getting bored, I have "eyes on the glass" for passcodes far too? long in a regular day as sleep eludes me.

I don't want our new group owner to read the last part or he will expect more for even less (hi hi)

Sorry for such a long post and thank you all for reading this far!

Hi Everyone,

So, I added the line of code to the XML file, and that solved the issue. Thanks a mill to everyone who contributed; you guys rock.

Dexter,
as you are using aprsisce you are always entitled to ask a question especially if you think there is a connection issue to the program and/or
any equipment used in conjunction with aprsisce, In the first instance when I read through your post I failed to read the last line of your post and that is MY fault and certainly not yours, I would have known instantly as the former operator of busy Igates in 2 States in the USA I had also seen a similar issue in the past.

For others reading this post just a little background about myself,

I am not the most technical person in the World and KJ4ERJ SK I think understood when I offered to admin in his passcode service that its something I have done for more than 20 years for two different giants in the World of APRS. Formerly Roger Barker G4IDE of UiView32 fame who I both beta tested his program for several years before learning he had just Months to live from cancer, his passcode and registration service for UiView 32 dried up instantly and I knew him well enough to ask him through an immediate family member if I could run it for him until further help came along from a great bunch of fellow hams and friends that stepped forward to continue help and support.
For quite a few months and on my own I ran the passcode and registration service and his program was a paid for service so this was converted to a Free but please donate to any cancer charity that you would care for, he agreed to that format and I with help carried that on until UiView registration became automated.

I joined up with KJ4ERJ SK at about this time and around almost a decade ago now gave up entirely to help Lynn until the present date and hopefully until I too go to meet my friends who are SK in heaven or wherever APRS actually takes us!

I have used the aprs?written by the Sproul brothers, UiView32 and latterly? APRSISCE32 and as my active radio days have gone I only used a pc copy of Lynns wonderful creation and have never used it connected to any form of RF.

I have operated Igates using a VX5r, Kenwoods D700 and D710 and an Icom 706Mk?II G both mobile and at the qth.

As I have mostly stayed very quiet on this reflector, the admin side along with my many other hobbies including aviation, SatComs for marine messaging keep me very busy and WX reporting keep me far from getting bored, I have "eyes on the glass" for passcodes far too? long in a regular day as sleep eludes me.

I don't want our new group owner to read the last part or he will expect more for even less (hi hi)

Sorry for such a long post and thank you all for reading this far!

Sorry Dexter but I am not familiar with any of that equipment, the droid element proves part of it is working.
If you have made no changes to radio the program and other hooked up equipment, apart from a reboot of the equipment check the hook ups are ok and if you have any spares swap them out, Windows has been issuing?some dodgy updates lately in both Win 11 and win 10 and I had to use the roll back to a previous time to get one of my programs?working again, mainly a USB issue

Try that and hopefully Rob KB8RCO who will no doubt read this later may offer better help, if it turns out to be my suggestion take the knobs of your laptop and put a lock on Windows updates, check the update history and see if one was new at the start of this

Hope that is of some help

For instance; I use my FT5D to send a message to my buddy that also use a FTM500 but the message stays on the IGATE same thing happens when he sends to me, both of us are always in range of the IGATE, but if I send from radio to someone using APRSDROID the messages reaches them and I get replies from them, the messages just won't go from radio to radio, could I be missing something, anyone has a fix for this and willing to share I certainly will appreciate it.?
