Actually, maybe I wasn't clear after all..what I am looking for is
to be able to use my APRSDroid app for beaconing, and to be seen in
the local APRS environment just the same as those using RF, via RF.
So, anyone viewing APRS via RF on a map would see me (via reverse
IS-to RF igating) along with anyone else out there...locally to
where I am. Anyone else who is not local to where *I* am can just go
on aprs.fi and see my path/position.<br>
<br>
Example...I am in Madison, WI- I want my beacons to be seen by
anyone watching APRS via RF as if I was beaconing directly via
radio.<br>
<br>
Is that any clearer?<br>

NOTHING! This isn't about MESSAGING -- that happens routinely
and automatically if the RF station involved has been heard
recently and locally to your igate. <br>
<br>
The "arrangements" referred to are to forward POSITION reports
(i.e. normal beacons) heard on the Internet data stream from
distant locations back to RF a.k.a. "reverse gating". For
example, one might do this to allow the posits and status beacons
from a local that is out of town on a cross-country trip (and is
hitting igates three states away) to be seen on RF by the
stay-at-home locals. <br>
