And even increasing it to 90 seconds won't always fix this kind of problem -- some times these delayed packets can be sent even hours late, not just a minute or two. Notice what is common about all of the delayed packets -- they all went through the VE2FET-1 I-gate. The best solution would be to work with VE2FET to resolve the real problem instead of trying to patch it at the APRS-IS level.<br><br>This topic comes up once or twice a year on the APRSSIG. If you search the archives for "delayed packets" you'll find more information. There are many potential causes. Frequent causes include a KPC-3 in KISS mode, and cheap USB to serial converters. <br><br>-Jerome, W0JRT<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 9/22/08, Pierre Thibaudeau
