Hessu, if you see this, can you tell me why Mike's packets are being rejected by <a href="http://aprs.fi" target="_blank">aprs.fi</a> but mine and W3EOC-5's aren't?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>
Mike's packet has a l (lower case L) as overlay. Overlays need to be be numbers or upper-case letters. It's easier to debug these issues by looking at the "hex dump" version of the raw packets list:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=AC0VP-10&limit=50&view=hex">http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=AC0VP-10&limit=50&view=hex</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>It uses a monospace font that makes easier to distinquish between I and l, but at least my display, makes l and 1 quite similar. Argh. Monospace font that makes all of l 1 I different, anyone?</div>
