Peter,
I understand from you message that you are using UI-View software.
I had much more success when sending packets via the ISS when I changed from UI-View to UISS. It is written specifically for the ISS and PCSAT.
It is much easier to correctly configure.

Hello,
I have a few question to the experts of APRS via ISS.
Very often I got packets back from the ISS with my location - so my signals are copied. But it seems to be that not all station could decode my infos sending out. Sometime on aprs.fi my position will be shown but in the last heard list my callsign will not appear.
So I read the following article: http://www.aprs.org/iss-aprs/issicons.html
Interesting to me but I am not shure how to optimize my UIView32 configuration. May be somebody can help me.
In the Station Setup dialog I set (of course text without ") Unproto port: "1" Unproto address: "APRS,ARISS" Beacon comment: (no input) UI-View Tag: (set to on)
So can I optimize my Unproto address/APRS path and may be it usefull to deactivate UI-View Tag??
In the article the author says it is possible to send also grid and operator name. Is this still correct? So if so how can I do this. Is "APRS,ARISS,JO43XO,Peter" the correct way to do it in UIView32??
The article says also it should be neccessary to incluce "CQ VIA" in the path field. But is this realy neccessary in UIView32?
Anothing thing is that the article says a ">" should be as first character in the status text. Is this correct for UIView32 too??
