Re: What can you add to APRS?

The beacon and ?status reports are working ?and have been for many years. The radio is fine as are all the hardware components. It just won¡¯t digipeat.

Again, question #1: are you able to transmit your own beacon? If not, then solve that problem before trying to digipeat other stations' packets.

My digipeater was working for some time. I think it quit working when I upgraded to beta150. I am not certain of that though. ?I have been through all the parameters and cannot see what is wrong. The weather station works well and the radio can hear distant stations all being plotted on the map. I am running an rpi2 with a tnc2 feeding the radio.? Any ideas?

Ian, ve3ep

This is independent of your earlier question about setting up a digipeater. Since you "qualify" as being in an area needing a digipeater, then go for it. I'm talking about areas like where I live where there are almost too many digipeaters.?

Did you see my email about troubleshooting your YAAC digipeater setup?

I don¡¯t disagree with anything you say, but it doesn¡¯t address my problem. There are sections of the county not covered by the main digi. ?I want to be able to track my vehicle in a particular area not covered. The alias is wide1-1 and it would be picked up by my home station and sent to the main didi. My home station has a path of wide 2-1. I can see my car on my map as it is received directly from my drive. It never gets sent via digiipeating to the the main digi.

This is a low aprs traffic area.

Ian
