Thanks Mike.

I am not bothered at all that my forwarded packets don't make it. I certainly don't need to find ways of getting them to APRS-IS faster, but thanks for the advice anyway.

When I looked at the captured packets on APRS-IS, it seemed to me that mine were getting lost. I wondered if I had something set up wrongly.

If other stations are getting the first packets in, that is great.

If the APRS-IS didn't work this way, then I would see a list on the findu site of duplicate packets from various Sgates.

Your reassurance is something of a relief. I am rebuilding much of my house and running an Sgate is a little awkward. It is good to know that it won't matter much if I stop because all other ZL and VK Sgate stations are copying the packets anyway.

It's all good.

Hi Sil,

well, that's the right one. The only chance to be the first one is a better connection to your next APRS gateway. Maybe you can check also an Australian Server. Simply try to ping the APRS server around you and take the one with the fastest response time.

... or try to connect aunz.aprs2.net:14580 and see which is the suggested server.

Hi Sil,

which APRS-IS server do you use?

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.
