aprsworld.net, aprsdepot.com, etc.) does not ALWAYS show how your station is
working as it relates to digipeaters. You may be getting digied just fine
by W4IAX-7, but the path to the nearest iGate (which is responsible for posting
your information to the IS) may be by way of KI4ELU-7. OR, they may both
be getting you to a nearby iGate just find but because the IS drops duplicate
packets, only the W4IAX-7 digi is getting 'recorded'. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Problems????<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hello all. I'm riding from Fairhope, AL over to work each day and
have<BR>not been getting into the digipeaters that well. The KI4ELU-7 I get
to<BR>nicely when in range, but as I cross I-10 to the north, I do not get
<BR>digi'd very good. When on I-10 I am VERY close to W4IAX-7 digi. See<BR>below
for my raw packets showing KI4ELU-7 as the first digi that picks<BR>me up. Note
that N4ESS-2 in the next batch of raw packets is picked up <BR>by W4IAX-7 digi
even though he's futher away than I am. Can anyone<BR>give me any ideas as to
"why" W4IAX-7 digi does not pick me up? I'm<BR>using a D700A radio mounted on a
motorcycle.<BR><BR>2007-09-13 11:34:15 GMT:

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN class=raw_line>My concern is the TNC in my
D700A isn't working correctly - I've read a couple of posts about the TNC not
transmitting correctly - perhaps with packets digi'd for a couple of days, then
not working correctlly. Since this radio is only a month old, I'd like to
determine this early on if possible. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN class=raw_line></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN class=raw_line>Also, there are several times
when I get digi'd by the KI4ELU-7 digi, but it never makes it to an Igate.
Perhaps the TNC is sending packets that are almost out of spec and only KI4ELU
can pass them reliably? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN class=raw_line></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN class=raw_line>Is there any way I can *test*
this radio to check?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
