[aprssig] APRSPoint Help

[David Dunster]

I got it to work. It was a filter error. When I switched it to a simple
filter, ie: m/600, data started to flow.
 
Thanks for the help.

I just recently acquired APRSPoint registration. I have no problems
receiving data from the local RF.
 
I do however have a problem getting data from the Internet. APRS+SA and
ViewPoint have no problems getting data.
 
I have connected to first.aprs.net on port 23 and received a large amount of
data. But I have a problem using the APRS2.NET servers.
 
I connect to montreal.aprs2.net on port 14580 and have a secondary on
montana.aprs2.net on port 14580. I am not using any filters.
 
I do get a connect to confirmation but no data appears to flow. Any ideas on
what I may have done wrong or missing?
 
I have setup the callsign:password information as per APRSPoint's
directions.
 
Thanks in advance.

The port 15480 filter port WILL NOT WORK until you send a filter statement.
The filters are additive -- you must sent one to get anything.  Further, if
you use a filter based on your own location (such as "everything within 50
km of my QTH" you must send a position report before anything willl come
back.  

Full details on the filter port settings are on my website at:
