I have a purely RF based digipeater (MM0NBW-1) temporarily setup and working fine as a precursor to setting up a permanent station but I see on the aprs.fi site that the station is identified as an igate -?? whereas I see other digipeater stations identified as digipeater - note I haven't found one yet also using direwolf.

I can't see anything in direwolf config that would influence this.? I'm using the D overlay in the beacon. So is this something hard coded where aprs.fi will interpret any direwolf station as igate?? Or have I missed something?

"igate" has a fluid definition.? It generally means an aprs radio that sends information to the internet (APRSIS).? It
may or may-not also be a digipeater/transmitter.

The icons are entirely up to you.? A receive-only igate is commonly a <R>? black diamond.? A transmitting digipeater
with no internet connection is commonly the green star.?? I also see a transmitting igate+digipeater as a? black <T>
diamond.

Personally, I use the green star for digipeaters which also happen to be igates:





We can have another thread on the suggested use of the overlay symbol as well.
