Re: Rx only iGate - stop Tx data

Fred, I'll give it a try. ?The worst I could do is break something I'm testing, so it's also easy to fix. Thanks, Arnold KQ6DI From: "'Fred Hillhouse' fmhillhouse@...

I think it won¡¯t receive anything that has TCPIP or TCPXX in the packet. I don¡¯t know it messages will pass if you are looking to pass them. Maybe there is a filter for the Q construct that might work better. [Not my information, just something I saw recently] ? FILTER IG 0 ! d/TCPIP/TCPXX ? Best regards, Fred N7FMH ? ?

[Attachment(s) from kq6di@... included below] Yes, I have a RX-only IGate. ?Below is a snip (with the receiver off) of a bunch of data coming from the internet that wants to be transmitted. ?It's about 5 minutes worth. ?I realize it isn't a lot, but I intend to locate the RX-only IGate & digipeater in a location that has rather limited internet capabilities. ?Is there a filter to hopefully send to the server that will reduce this some? Believe it or not, this entire installation is solar powered, so even transmitting each packet requires power from somewhere... ? Arnold KQ6DI ? ? From: "Jim Alles kb3tbx@... [direwolf_packet]" <direwolf_packet@...> ? ? Arnold, ? It seems you want to undertake a RX-only IGate. ? AFAIK, it doesn't matter if you are using direwolf or anything else, if you are directly connected to an APRS-IS server TCP port 14580, you will be receiving packets _because_ you sent packets to the server. This is by design, to support messaging. ? The field called 'filter' that is sent to the server, is not really a filter, it is a subscription for additional packets to what I just described, above. ? The only alternative (theoretically) is to setup your own server, and modify the code to do what you want, and point your IGate to that, but there may be options I don't know about. ? Explain what you are trying to accomplish, and describe your local RF territory a bit. ? There may be direwolf config parameters that can get the incoming packet count down significantly, yet I am sorry that is not what you are looking for. ? 73, Jim A. ?

I would like to stop ALL traffic coming from the IS server that wants to be transmitted, but I don't know the best parameter(s) to enter.? Suggestions? ? I know it isn't much data, but I have a future location that will only have internet via satellite, and every little bit of data counts toward (against) the monthly limit. ? Thanks.
