<p dir="ltr">There wasn't ever consensus that it even was an issue to begin with. What you're describing is trying to use the APRS-IS as a local RF analysis tool. </p>
<p dir="ltr">My argument was that if you're trying to use the APRS constellation for something actually useful and not just the novelty of bouncing a packet off a satellite, you would much prefer getting i-gated in simplex range so you don't need to rely on maybe getting through a satellite. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm not convinced I want to implement a satgate switch in APRX, and would reject any patches to do so. </p>
