I'm not trying to change the APRS-IS. I'm trying to fix the satgate problem<br>
by asking any author of IGate code to include a SATgate mode that will<br>
ignore direct, undigipeated packets. When any authors respond with the<br>
feature, then we will have a SATgate we can recommend for people to use.<br>
This is a SATgate only issue and it should not be included in terrestrial<br>
operation. Terrestrial APRS network has a different objective.<br>
The people that we want to set up SATgates are Satellite folks first and in<br>
far corners of the world and we want to eliminate this obscure problem in<br>
that application by fixing it at hte SATgate..<br>

No, I'm trying to make the APRS satellites work as a useful constellation<br>
and to have their integration into the APRS-IS work in a consistent manner<br>
all over the world.<br>
<br>
It does - it treats your hypothetical "satgate" just like any other Igate.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm just trying to identify IGate code that has this SATgate mode so that we<br>
can know what software to recommend for SATgate use.<br>
<br>
<br>
There isn't any. But that's OK, since there isn't a special version of<br>
APRS-IS stripped of deduplication running in your hypothetical "satgate"<br>
mode to connect them to.<br>
<br>
This is exactly the same non-problem as using APRS-IS for RF propagation<br>
analysis. APRS-IS simply isn't designed for that, and the way it is<br>
designed actively prevents its use in that manner.<br>
