Reporting to aprs-is shows no digipeaters?

wb2osz / direwolf

Dire Wolf is a software "soundcard" AX.25 packet modem/TNC and APRS encoder/decoder. It can be used stand-alone to observe APRS traffic, as a tracker, digipeater, APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate).

Reporting to aprs-is shows no digipeaters? #455

Closed Hiermur closed 1 year ago

Hiermur commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I use direwolf under OpenWebRX and have a question about APRS reporting via aprs-is. In contrast to the previously used software (ui-view32), no digipeaters are reported. As a result, no more information is available for the VHF Propagation Map (http://vhf.dxview.org/) :-(

For example, the following station was received by OpenWebRX:

DO0HWI>APMI04,DB0PCH,DM0ADA,WIDE2:;DL0HWI 241058z5353.23N/01128.30EK145.225MHz t000 R10K DARC Clubstation OV V13

But it doesn't appear on aprs.fi.

Are there direwolf filters at work that suppress the reception of digipeaters?

73, Hiermur

The github issues area is only intended for bug reports or feature enhancements. If you need help with direwolf, please join direwolf@groups.io and post your issue there. Regardless, as of 3/24/23 @ 8:00am PST, I do see your station on APRS.FI showing as a Digipeater:

https://aprs.fi/info/a/DO0HWI

Looking at the "raw" view, there are at least three other beacons being consistently received by your station and Igated to aprs.fi. If we are misunderstanding your question, please re-post to groups.io and we'll take it up there as there are no known digipeating issues with direwolf v1.6 or newer. Please close this github issue if you agree.
