I know this has been asked a hundred times, but I'm going to make it a hundred and one. I'm using UISS for packet on satellites. What do I put in the "VIA" box to get into NO-84. I've tried ARISS, APRSAT, and PSAT and I was not heard. Obviously, it could be that the satellite just isn't hearing me, but I'd like to know that I'm using the correct path to give myself the best chance of getting in.
Most of the packets I see from NO-84 have a couple of paths designated like "CQ,PSAT,ARISS". Do I need to put in two paths like "PSAT,ARISS"? If so, how do you do that on UISS?
Thanks for the help and Happy Holidays!

Steve,
You can use just ARISS in that VIA field. It worked fine for me when I tried NO-84 yesterday. The satellite retransmits what it hears with other items inserted in the path, as you saw. PSAT shows that the digipeater is active, when that appears in its packets.

PSAT should respond to the path of ARISS or APRSAT in its current configuration.
