APRS Messages on packet


 

HI,

I've been using YAAC with direwolf on a Pi400 for APRS and decided to try using the same radio and the direwolf instance to connect to a Winlink packet gateway. It works as expected but I'm seeing an APRS related message in the direwold console that I would like to suppress.

K5PRK-10 audio level = 29(15/8)? ?[NONE]? ?_||||||||
[0.4] K5PRK-10>BEACON:Winlink 2000 RMS Packet Server<0x0d>

Unknown APRS Data Type Indicator "W", motorcycle

Is there something I need to change in the direwolf.conf to tell it we're not in APRS mode any more?

TIA

Danny
K5CG?


 

Hi Danny,
That looks like a pretty standard packet beacon. Note that it's not in the APRS position beacon format. You'll see those on non-APRS packet frequencies as well to announce the station is there.?
The direwolf log message about attempts to decode APRS packet format can be turned off with the -qd argument to direwolf.
