The APRS internet system (IS) should never be used to "ascertain" reception statistics, since it only captures the first copy of any packet heard by any number of IGates. The only way to improve your IGate's "appearance" on the APRS-IS is to disconnect everyone else in your country. (If I understood your question...) Bob

Hi,
I sometimes see received packets (like the one below) that show as gated to the net by my Sgate, but do not make it to findu ( http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi).
Is there anything I can do, change, alter, or configure, to increase the chances of the packet making it to the findu site?
The gate is currently running on an old Windows machine and the gating is completed by UIView.
