Question about APRS/UISS
I am wondering why my AGW Packet Engine Pro shows decoded signals from the ISS but the UISS does not show any data.
When I switch over to 144.39, almost all of the packets don't show up in UISS either. Is there some special setting I need to use? I don't have any filters enabled on UISS.
Is there a better interfacing program with AGW Packet Engine than UISS?

Soundmodem is said to be better because it does less checksumming.

Sorry for not being clear. I am looking for a comparable software mapping program like UISS to pair with AGW. AGW is working fine, but UISS is not getting the info from AGW.

Mark,
Almost any APRS mapping program can be used. UI-VIEW32, APRSIS32, and SARTrack are examples. It is just a matter of changing the frequency, and the path. However, UISS normally works very well with the defaults, so it might be worth pursuing why you are having a problem. The UISS_ON6MU Yahoo group is not very active, but worth checking.

Mark,
If AGWPE is decoding a packet but it's not showing up in the UISS window, you might have a filter in UISS enabled and it's not allowing it to show. Make sure filter is disabled in UISS and see what happens.

Mark, When I was starting on the packet sats, I had similar problems. Maybe you've already done this, but be sure that the "LAN" box is checked on UISS. I use DireWolf for my packet engine, so the set up may be slightly different, but checking the LAN box got the two programs talking to each other very nicely.

... but be sure that the "LAN" box is checked on UISS.
There is a document at http://www.ariss.org/contact-the-iss.html which includes a step by step method of switching UISS from interfacing to the AGWPE to interfacing with the UZ7HO Soundmodem program.
The direct link is as follows to save searching the whole page: www.ariss.org/uploads/1/9/6/8/19681527/k9jkm_2012_symposium_ver2.pdf
When the ISS is running the HT there are often many packets that sound "good" but won't pass the checksum. I also test on 144.390 but those signals often are S9+40 while a good downlink from the HT on the ISS is S3 to S5, at best, on my station during closest approach. Often at AOS and LOS it is S0 but audible.
When I run a hardware TNC with PASSALL = ON it will display all the packets and there are many with errors but with enough information that you can understand the message. But I see lots of incomplete packets.
