<DIV>Thanks for the info Eric, but I am NOT always getting into the IS system
- For instance today, if you look at the track of me for today, you can see
where my last position is shown - after than point, I was digi'd at least 6 or
8 times between there and Fairhope, AL, but none of those show up on <A
href="http://fundu.com">fundu.com</A> or</DIV>
<DIV><A

if that gives the time frame when I was tracked - about noon today
(Friday). I normally run auto beacon set at 1 minute, but sometimes will
change it to 30 sec just for testing on a trip trying to be tracked more
consistently. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I see other mobile stations in the same area as I am that are tracked
MUCH more than my station - and they are digi'd by W4IAX-7 digi - and
many times our track will overlap.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I understand what you are saying about the Igate dropping one digi or the
other when receiving packets from both, but why is it ALWAYS W4IAX that gets
dropped for me, but not others. Also, if you follow my track over the
past several days you can see the biggest "missed" spots in my track are up
along I-10 where W4IAX is located. If I do get digi'd from there to an
Igate, it will be the KI4ELU station that gets me, even thought it's several
miles away, while W4IAX is less than a mile or so away. Heck, from I-10
I can see W4IAX's antennas on the tower. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry to keep harping on this, but I'm just learning about APRS, AND with
a new radio I wish to confirm if it actually has a problem or not.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the suggestions.</DIV>

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

<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

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN>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></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN>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>
