RAFT and ANDE IGating
by Robert Bruninga 21 Dec '06

> Can someone remind me (again) what a satgate configuration > should look like? Isn't it a standard Igate connected > to a particular APRS-IS server? Actually, it is a standard Igate connected to your favorite standard APRS server. Since ALL of the packets from ANDE and RAFT are all APRS packets, they should go directly into the APRS-IS via what ever is best for you. Though I welcome an opinion by the APRS-IS folks. We only set up the special SATgate servier for PCSAT-2 that had a lot of 9600 baud science data that did not need to be flooded into the APRS-IS. But now, with ANDE and RAFT, it is all standard APRS at 1200 baud, so it should be fine for the normal APRS-IS. So, all you have to do is QSY your Igate radio from the national APRS frequecny to 145.825... **** AND **** TURN OFF GATING TO RF ********* **** THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ****** That should do it. Thanks! Bob, WB4APR

Tracking FCAL
by Robert Bruninga 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

In addition to listening for RAFT on 145.825 and NMARS on 27.965 +/- 2 KHz or so, we also need people listening on 437.385 for FCAL. It may be lower in freq by as much as 10 KHz. So tune around. FCAL deploy is at 1822z on Thursday the 21st. Use the elements for the Space Shuttle until we get fresh elements. Bob, Wb4APR
