TT4 digipeater


KB9HGI
 

I got the tiny tracker 4 and set it up for digipeat. it's been working I think but there is a problem. I put my location in for fixed with no GPS

And it shows at my house on aprs.fi. I check a couple hours later and it has me somewhere lese with someone else info like right

Now it say’s Dave Columbia, MO sometimes it shows I’m in Canton, IL with someone info. Why does it keep moving me and I don’t have a

GPS hooked up. Im fixed location. any tips for setting this thing up for a stand alone digipeater?

?

Which SSID is your digipeater on? KB9HGI-15? I see you've used a lot of SSIDs:



This is where I see what I expect to be your TT4, along with some other SSIDs:



And you're currently underway:


Everything checks out at the moment, right?

My Digi is KB9HGI-15 and KB9HGI-10 is a igate I have had for awhile KB9hgi-1 is my weather station KB9hgi-2 is my FT2D and KB9HGI-9 is my Ft-400 in the truck

?

Yeah it switch my location back for the time being on on the TT4? I was told to turn Bmode off but Have not done that yet.

Should my alias be wide1 and path wide1-2?? I’m still trying to figure this thing out!

I will try not to read too much into your tracking around marihuana dispensaries! :) Two quick questions: What values do you have loaded in the TOSV and PPERIOD fields??

I am not sure it will fix all the issues, but you might enable PPeriod and send position reports at 600 seconds, and set TOSV to False. I think this will brute force your position to your fixed location.?

Its always a good idea when putting out quires to the group to send a screen shot of your DISPLAY settings. The people here are really good at spotting anomalies.

FYI, I only see your fixed digi when I searched for your call sign on aprs.fi. Looking at the Raw Data in aprs.fi showed a horror show of exception reports.?

Look at your raw packets at

It appears to me that the KB9HGI-10 IGate is actually the cause of your woes.

I'm probably in a chemo fog, but most of the packets -originated- by
the callsign KB9HGI-15 appear (raw as listed on )
to be other people's packets in its payload field..? Shouldnt?these
be identified as 3rd-party in someway since they don't match?
the APRS?protocol with a first-characer?identifier?

Or does the?3rd party flag only apply if the?packet is re-transmitted
back to RF as in a message packet.

I'm embarrassed?that I am now forgetting more about APRS details
than I care to admit.

They are completely invalid packets.?? If a 3rd party packet is received, it is supposed to be unwrapped before being gated.

Something is broken with this IGate.

Third Party Packets

Please refer to the chapter in the APRS specification on third-party packets. At this time, all IGates strip any path information out of the third-party header to reduce bandwidth requirements and maintain AX.25 packet length compatibility.

Is his I-Gate retransmitting packets that his digipeater initiated or processed? If Bob B. can't figure it out, we are all doomed! Maybe he should set some of his gear up with tactical call signs , at least for system validation.

No I don’t think nothing is wrong with the Igate I have had it on for years its in rx only mode and its been working fine. A buddy of mine AA9GL has been running a digi. But was wanting to shut it off. He never had that problem his fixed station moving to different locations. I need to hook the TT4 back up computer again and try some different setting either its config wrong or it’s a piece of junk!

The packets look like someone just hooked the output of one TNC to theTX input of another one
instead of actually implementing an IGate or digi.? So the one TNC is trnansmitting?the
parsed and "displayed" packet as received from another.? Once received, the format
is a "display" format and not part of the on-air AX.25 protocol.

The bogus packets being gated by KB9HGI-10 spontaneously stopped about 40 minutes after KB9HGI thought that "nothing is wrong with the Igate".?? KB9HGI-10 is still operating, but is gating packets normally now so apparently the problem was identified and corrected.

Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32

PS.? For the record, here's the last bogus packets gated and the first of the good packets that have continued since.? Notice the 8 minute gap between the two during which time I suspect it was actually fixed.

Insure that you do not have spaces in the hard coded latitude value.
This will enable position ambiguity per the APRS spec.
APRS.fi also supports optional position ambiguity.

Well, we call them "bad" or "bogus" packets, but the aprs101.pdf spec actually would classify them as "APRS Status Reports" and as such, IGate software is completely spec-compliant to be passing them along.? Consider the following from page 89 of aprs101.pdf:

All Other Packets:

Packets that do not meet any of the formats described in this document are
assumed to be non-APRS beacons. Programs can decide to handle these, or
ignore them, but they must be able to process them without ill effects.

APRS programs may treat such packets as APRS Status Reports. This allows
APRS to accept any UI packet addressed to the typical beacon address to be
captured as a status message. Typical TNC ID packets fall into this category.
Once a proper Status Report (with the APRS Data Type Identifier >) has
been received from a station it will not be overwritten by other non-APRS
packets from that station.

Yes, anything manually typed into a TNC for transmission should?
at least be transmitted and we called that a default status packet.
But this situation is different.? It is not someone generating "status"
packets but some arrangement of hardware that is incorrectly taking
the output of one?TNC stream and just transmittiing it raw as if it
was trying to emulate a digi, which is not how digis work.

Third Party Packets

Please refer to the chapter in the APRS specification on third-party packets. At this time, all IGates strip any path information out of the third-party header to reduce bandwidth requirements and maintain AX.25 packet length compatibility.

  • ?An IGate should not gate third-party packets (data type }) with TCPIP or TCPXX in the third-party header to APRS-IS.
  • Third-party packets without TCPIP in the header are to be gated to APRS-IS?AFTER?stripping the RF header and third-party data type.

Which SSID is your digipeater on? KB9HGI-15? I see you've used a lot of SSIDs:

I understand what the "intention" was of the default to Status Report, but software cannot read intent, just content.? So anything that doesn't fit something else is, by definition, a Status Report.? Even if that anything is a fully-formed TNC2-formatted packet.

Yes, anything manually typed into a TNC for transmission should?
at least be transmitted and we called that a default status packet.
But this situation is different.? It is not someone generating "status"
packets but some arrangement of hardware that is incorrectly taking
the output of one?TNC stream and just transmittiing it raw as if it
was trying to emulate a digi, which is not how digis work.

Well, we call them "bad" or "bogus" packets, but the aprs101.pdf spec actually would classify them as "APRS Status Reports" and as such, IGate software is completely spec-compliant to be passing them along.? Consider the following from page 89 of aprs101.pdf:

All Other Packets:

Packets that do not meet any of the formats described in this document are
assumed to be non-APRS beacons. Programs can decide to handle these, or
ignore them, but they must be able to process them without ill effects.

APRS programs may treat such packets as APRS Status Reports. This allows
APRS to accept any UI packet addressed to the typical beacon address to be
captured as a status message. Typical TNC ID packets fall into this category.
Once a proper Status Report (with the APRS Data Type Identifier >) has
been received from a station it will not be overwritten by other non-APRS
packets from that station.

The bogus packets being gated by KB9HGI-10 spontaneously stopped about 40 minutes after KB9HGI thought that "nothing is wrong with the Igate".?? KB9HGI-10 is still operating, but is gating packets normally now so apparently the problem was identified and corrected.

PS.? For the record, here's the last bogus packets gated and the first of the good packets that have continued since.? Notice the 8 minute gap between the two during which time I suspect it was actually fixed.

No I don’t think nothing is wrong with the Igate I have had it on for years its in rx only mode and its been working fine. A buddy of mine AA9GL has been running a digi. But was wanting to shut it off. He never had that problem his fixed station moving to different locations. I need to hook the TT4 back up computer again and try some different setting either its config wrong or it’s a piece of junk!
