Hi Mike,
I have tried to digi via ARISS using several paths, CQ,ARISS,SGATE,WIDE CQ,ARISS,SGATE,WIDE CQ,ARISS,WIDE1-1
I set my UNPROTO to CQ VIA RS0ISS (although ARISS does alias with RS0ISS). That is the only path I need for a digipeat via the ISS. I haven't needed the various flavors of WIDE.
So, 2 questions, using UI-View32:
- What's the most common Is there something that could cause it *not* to gateway to the www.ariss.net page ?
- What is the Digi Path to end up on www.ariss.net ?
I found when using UI-View that the map display of what you've heard is nice. I usually operate a bit more minimally when I'm looking for keyboard contacts. I do without the UI-View map. I use UISS for my keyboard operation.
I've found that the UZ7HO Soundmodem software in place of AGWPE "hears" a bit better. The thing with the soundcard packet modes is that the software packet engine expects a complete packet and correct checksum before displaying the message. With my hardware TNC I can set PASSALL ON. It lets the partial packets through which are often good enough for human interpretation rather than demanding a correct checksum.
A few times a year PCSAT gets enough sunlight to come alive and digipeat on 145.825. Just set your path UNPROTO CQ VIA W3ADO-1. The map display for who makes it through for PCSAT is at http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi
