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! ? Steve KB9HGI ? Sent from for Windows ?

Well spoke too soon the KB9HGI-15 Digi is moving again and does not have a GPS connected its in Canton, IL at the moment and looks like its been bouncing around. ? This is just crazy! ? ? Sent from for Windows ?

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.?

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.

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! ? Steve KB9HGI ? Sent from for Windows ?

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.

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.

The bogus packets being gated by KB9HGI-10

KB9HGI thought that "nothing is wrong with the

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.

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.

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!

AND bad packets
are NOT supposed to be passed on!
They are supposed to be discarded.

PS.? From
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.

Shouldnt?these

the

Which

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?
