Notice the digipeat path on the packets you are receiving by RF; the digipeat alias has already been consumed. This indicates you are not receiving the original Object transmissions from ED2ZAD-3, but a digipeated copy. So there was probably an I-gate that was close enough to ED2ZAD-3 to hear the original transmission and get it to the APRS-IS backbone before your station heard the digipeat of the packet. Since the APRS-IS backbone is deliberately designed to suppress duplicates, you will never be the first I-gate to relay those particular stations to the backbone.
However, you did NOT configure your station to be a receive-only I-gate, which is why you are seeing the [ig>tx] messages. So you are I-gating some traffic (which is why you are being given responses to send to that station) but you are not the first I-gater. I don't see a IGTXVIA directive in your configuration, but it might be implied because you did specify IGTXLIMIT.
If you want to actually see traffic I-gated by your station, it has to be traffic that no other I-gate can hear (so no one can beat you to the backbone with the packets). For example, a low-power HT beaconing right next to your I-gate, so no one else could receive it.
Hope this helps.

Hi Everybody,
I have started up a new Direwolf iGate, but my intention is that the iGate works a receiver, and no as transmiter.
The issue is that my iGate show all the time this messages:

but no RX>IG message.
If I go to the aprs page I see that there is no message from my iGate to the network.
This is my conf file.

What is wrong ?
Thank you in advance.
