Actually, the best path should be VIA ARISS. There is no need for SGATE, since all APRS IGates automatically send everything they hear to the internet. And if you set VIA PSAT as the path, then you just have to change it again for ISS.
So just use via ARISS and both PSAT and/or ISS will digipeat it.
PSAT and all other APRS satellite also support the generic space alias of APRSAT, but since the ISS doesn't support that path, then the most generic path is VIA ARISS which will work with all of them.
Hope that helps. Bob, WB4aPR

Steve,
I am using to: "APRS" but "CQ" should be just as good. For the via: PSAT,ARISS,SGATE .
ARISS is for the double hop if the ISS is in range, and SGATE to put a digi'd packets on the internet sites.
KO6TZ Bob
On my last try I saw a digi from one person, but got no telemetry.
Just checking here, I'm using UISS as software. I've >got "CQ" in the "To:" box and "PSAT" in the "Via:" box. That should work, yes? If not, what are other folks using?

Bob,
If I used just "ARISS" as the path, and PSAT repeated the packet, how would the ISS repeat the packet ? (if in range) Wouldn't it need another alias or call in the path for a double hop ?
BOB KO6TZ
Yes, so do ARISS,ARISS, but recognize that your packet just got longer and thus a lower probability of success.
