this list? Firenet is essentially a clone of an APRS-IS server operating outside the APRS-IS (rather than a user transmitting to the APRS-IS). Is someone gating data from the Firenet server into the APRS-IS, making it appear as a virtual user? If so, wouldn't the station doing the cross-gating show up instead as the "source"? What's going on here??<BR><BR>Firenet is two things. It's the APRS-IS subnet server that Pete described and it's also an assigned ToCall prefix of APF. Unfortunately, not all APF prefixes are actually firenet. There seems to be an undocumented APRS platform using APFDnn (from 01 through 91, non-contiguous) and another using APFRnn (specifically 38 and 67).<BR><BR>If you set an APRS-IS filtered feed to u/APF* -u/APFMET/APFIRE/APFH2O (or just u/APFD*/APFR*), you'll get these stations which seem to be mostly Fn prefix callsigns. If anyone knows for sure
(not just based on their comment) what these stations are running, it'd be nice to get it documented at <A href="http://www.aprs.org/aprs11/tocalls.txt" target=_blank>http://www.aprs.org/aprs11/tocalls.txt</A><BR><BR>Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32<BR><BR>PS.
