Thanks David!

I am on an HF BBS frequency. Thanks for the suggestion and I am going to have to dig out the most recent manual and take a look.

Hello Chris,
Is your packet station on an APRS frequency or a BBS frequency?? If you want to disable the APRS packet repair heuristics, you can add the following "ax25" parameter to your direwolf.conf file:
?? FIX_BITS 0 AX25
Please note that you might want to actually ENABLE the FIX_BITS feature (changing the "0" parameter to one of the valid higher numbers) to improve weak packet decoding at the risk of some incorrect decodes.? See the Direwolf User Manual for more detail.

Hello All!

I am seeing the following error messages regarding bad APRS packet segments, but? these are from packet stations and are valid. Is there anyway to turn off, or adjust, APRS error messages?

Use of "BEACON" in the destination field is obsolete. ?You can help to improve the quality of APRS signals.

I also see similar messages with call signs in the same place as BEACON. For example if one station is contacting another.? XXXX>KXXXX-1 there is a message that comes up and says that K is not in the correct place for an APRS packet.
Thanks!
