[aprssig] ARISS igated location anomaly/discrepancy

Wed Jul 15 00:25:53 EDT 2015

Paul - thanks for the note. The elevation for GP3 along w/ my Microsat's digi has been working well. A few pictures here.  I have since moved my GP3 to my Tower. I should have more pictures of the GP3 on the Tower soon.

On the note of YAAC, APRSISCE; both seem like too much layering of s/w.  I liked the APRX Software, DireWolf.  But, the one I seem to like the best is the microsat's Mini (for ARISS).

I was looking at doing the SSTV - but, never made much progress.  Perhaps soon once I stabilize my ARISS setup on the new tower.

Nagi--

Your setup has been working well lately.  Since APRS-IS de-dupes I don't get as much "credit" for igating from my QTH any more.  Most goes into the bit-bucket.  I'll have to get the better antenna or faster internet connection!  ;-)

Seriously, though, I experimented with UISS for awhile a few years ago, but wasn't quite able to get it working as well as APRSISCE/32 and YAAC.
 Either my cabling setup, rig, or somesuch.  I remain wondering how well UISS being maintained.  Looks like a new release just came out, according to its (very old school) web site.

As an aside, it sounds like there won't be much APRS activity on the ISS this weekend.  They're switching over to SSTV to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Apollo-Soyuz: http://www.issfanclub.com/node/39670.  I got some good images last time.
