First thing is not to connect to it! :-) (Although I expect you didn't actually mean connect.) [snip] >4. If there is any thing else I would need to change please can you let me know >aswell. Here's a quote from a message I sent to the list a few days ago:- ******************************************************************* If you leave your latitude and longitude blank in Station Setup, but put a grid square enclosed in "[]" and optional comment in the Beacon comment field, then UI-View will send that as your posit. It's short, it contains no unnecessary information, and it's meaningful to non-APRS users. So for digipeating via ISS in its current state, something like this should work well:- Latitude: Longitude: Unproto address: CQ,NOCALL Beacon comment: [IO92XX] Boston UK UI-View Tag: not checked I would recommend sending the posit manually by pressing F9 rather than sending it on the timer. ******************************************************************* The only other thing I would add is to open the Terminal window, because you'll see a lot of traffic that won't be decoded as APRS frames. When you've got the Terminal window open, if you put the focus back on the map window by clicking on it, you can still use F9 to send your posit. -- Roger Barker, G4IDE - roger@peaksys.co.uk For UI-View go to - http://www.packetradio.org.uk For WinPack go to - http://www.peaksys.co.uk
