Which list is it on? This is the one I referenced:
http://aprs.org/aprs11/tocalls.txt
It's not there, so I couldn't add it in the DeviceID module initially.
Looking at the aprs.fi database, there have been a total of 6 stations
using the APRHH2 dstcall during the past 365 days. If your device sends
mic-e packets (so that the dstcalls vary heavily) and there is no specific
mic-e type code attached, the devices can't be identified. There are 39
additional stations with dstcall of APHH2. Which one is yours, or both?

Yup. This is how the thing works, it's really tracking software, not
hardware. It doesn't distinquish between a Dell and Supermicro running
aprsd, either. :)

Since it's open source, I suppose you could rebuild the software with the
different TOCALL. But that'd be quite a lot of extra maintenance to
rebuild the new versions, and the config programs to download the right
upgrades, etc.
