I have a script that polls APRS.FI every 5 minutes and if the timestamp on my most recent location packet has changed since the last polling it then checks for a change of location and updates my status on a popular micro-blogging site. I just drove 160miles over the last 6 hours and expected to see several updates but I have not seen one, and my script reports that the timestamp on my packets did not change! </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I can’t tell from the raw data on APRS.FI as I can’t read Mic-E packets. Am I missing something? And if anyone has a link to the Mic-E specs, I’d appreciate a link. I think I might try to change my settings on my Tiny Trak 4 to standard uncompressed APRS for the return trip and see if anything changes. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks de NR0Q</div><br class=""><div class="">
