What I use is, 145.85 for the uplink (only use 145.93 with mice)
u aprs via 4xtech hbaud 9600 (I guess your 8600 was a typo)
Then you should just be able to send anything like normal I do alot of messages like:
:CQ :Hello on go32
I'm using my d700 in packet mode with aprs software
Also, can you hear go-32 at all? it transmits about every other second with it's bbs stuff, so it should be a constant stream of stuff even if no one is transmitting to it. Pretty much like the ao-51 downlink on 9600baud.
Quoting "Henk, PA3GUO" hamoen@iae.nl:
Grrrr
I seem to fail to understand the APRS mode of GO32:
Kenwood TS2000X HamRadioDeluxe for auto doppler correction
External TNC (PK96) hbaud 8600 u aprs via 4xtech
uplink 145.850 in CONV mode: ":AP hello" ... some days ago this worked twice, then nothing got digipeated
uplink 145.930 in CONV mode: ":2 hello" ... never any success
Then: I see JA stations getting stuff like this over it: JA0CAW]APRS,4XTECH*,qAS,JH4BTI::JA5BLZ :GE ur599 TNXp whereas I would have expected somethin like "AP JA5BLZ ...." (AP in front)
This is the only source of documentation I have: http://web.usna.navy.mil/~bruninga/GO32-ops.html
Which states:
145.85 MHz All APRS messaging (or fixed station non-Mic-E positions). . Only TOCALLs that begin with "APxxxx". 145.93 MHz All APRS Mic-E positions and status(D7, D700 and D710s with comment set to "Committed, Special or PRIORITY"... The reason for these uplink distinctions is due to GO-32 hardware that will only digipeat a packet on 145.85 that has a TOCALL beginning with "A". (All APRS fixed station packets and all APRS messages including D7 and D700's) . The 145.93 channel will only accept packets that begin with a digit between 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. . But fortunately the D7 and D700's do this naturally as long as the position comment is set to "committed, SPecial or PRIORITY"...
Q1: do the TOCALLs need APxxx or Axxx on 850 ? (in CONV mode type :APxxx ?) Q2: should here ":2xxx" work ?
Thanks ! Henk, PA3GUO
.... so lost :-)
