"UDP OK (±2m)" in green but nothing hit the network? #344

https://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=N6ATF*&limit=50&view=normal should show it at 180011 2023-02-28.

The 2 that made it on there a few minutes ago had 2 events each in the app log. Should the 180011 position report have had 2 as well if it was actually successful vs just "UDP OK"?

"UDP OK" merely means that the UDP packet was sent. There is no guarantees that it gets delivered anywhere, by design of UDP.

In fact, APRSdroid will even show "TCP OK" when it is actually disconnected, so you can't quite rely on that one either.
