While I have been using yaac (thanks Andrew!)? for a couple of years, I just set up my fixed station to digipeat (WIDE1-1, trace enabled) and serve as an i-gate (tx and rcv).? Looking at APRS.fi, it looks like a low power digi in my neighborhood might be helpful but I'd like to understand how it is acutally being used.? Basically, I'd like to see a list of stations that my digi repeats or gates into or out of the internet.?Secondarily, I'd like to build a filter that shows me what digis and i-gates are picking up my beacons.
The goals are to understand whether putting up a digi and i-gate is useful and see the most likely paths between my digi and others in the area. IS to RF is easy, the tx-gate window does the job. But I should be able to do all these things by filtering the raw packets and I just can't seem to make filters work. Any help or pointers much appreciated.? ? Thanks!
