<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: K9FV-1>SP4P2W,KI4ELU-7,W4NN-1*,WIDE2-1,qAo,WD4HDT:`tZl"|*</]"3c}Test new APRS de K9FV

<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?

<div><font face="Courier New"><span class="raw_line">Is there any way I can *test* this radio to check?</span></font></div>
