<div dir="ltr">I'm not sure why that flag would apply to a packet that for some reason has -already- been gated to the APRS-IS network. OpenAPRS isn't a gate or an APRS-IS server it's simply reading the feed from one of the tier 1 servers. If for some reason the packet as in this case was gated already why would we choose to ignore it and simply refuse to parse it or display it?<br>
<br>I would lean towards showing the packet since part of the usefulness of sites like OpenAPRS and findu is to be able to debug your transmissions. I can see where you might want to know that your packet was getting gated when it wasn't supposed to onto the APRS-IS network and track down the gate that is ignoring it.<br>

Looks like the OpenAPRS web page doesn't honor the !x! flag.<br>
I don't see KF4ERV-7 on Findu but I do using the OpenAPRS webpage.<br>
<br>
It is my understanding that using !x! at the beginning of the D7 status<br>
msg is the<br>
same as placing NOGATE or RFONLY in the PATH.<br>
