Hi,
I am a bit confused. What's the difference between: "ARISS" vs "UNPROTO VIA ARISS" Should they not both work?
Well, we'd hope the net effect is the same ... but I was trying to explain using the command string my hardware needs. Hopefully someone with your HT can offer specific advice for your rig. We may be talking of similar things but with different user interfaces ;-)
Yes. You seem to be at the raw AX.25 level which should work fine but a different than what I am doing with the APRS mode on the TH-D72A.
I *could* switch it to PACKET12 mode and just use the TNC but I'd like to get this to work with just the APRS mode.
My PATH right now is set to "ARISS" which I think is sufficient. Please, please someone chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.
Question, it seems you are explicitly doing packet radio and not APRS (a derivative).
A packet setup for UI packets works for both. When I run UI-View (an APRS program) while receiving ISS packets I get an APRS map that looks like this: http://home.comcast.net/~k9jkm/UI_View_ISS_Pass.jpg
If I send =4211.29N/08827.08W- ... I end up on the APRS map with a K9JKM house symbol with the antenna.
Right understood, I just want to confirm. Clearly raw UI frames will work if the payload follows APRS.
If I send Hi Bob ... then it is a text string.
Keep on trying ... it's a memorable hoot when ya score some packets!
To get on that damn ariss.net map! That's all I'm asking here!
Alright, the open squelch was killing me. Now I see my beacon transmitted. Next pass is 4:23PM EDT with a max elevation of 79.94 degrees. If I can't get in, I am writing to NASA (just kidding).
