AndyI believe there was a kit form of something like that at the APRS gathering yesterday. Robert, Budd, or Peter might have paid more attention to it ad have more detail.GaylandKG7GCFOn Sun, Sep 10, 2017 at 8:44 AM, Andy Sayler <a9i...@gmail.com> wrote:

That's cute, but receive only and you should know how I feel
about receive only APRS I-Gates
NW Digital Radio will be releasing a Pi "hat" soon that will have
full Rx/Tx capabilities in UHF, they were calling it the One Watt
Spot.
The one interesting thing I saw was the Pi-Gate. http://www.pigate.net/
I think I might have seen it before but it's a Raspberry PI with
a Pi TNC in a 3D printed case and pre-loaded software so you can
just plug it in and it comes up as a WiFi hot spot. Then anyone
can connect to it using any web browser and send email (Winlink
system).
But what it does that makes it unique is it just holds all the
email inside until the radio operator is present. Then the
operator makes the radio connection and sends all the email at
once. There was some discussion if the legality of sending email
you don't know the contents of being the control operator. But the
general consensus was in an emergency situation where you would
deploy something like this so the general public can get messages
out of a disaster area to loved ones, that would not be an issue.

I-gates in general tend to give the impression that APRS messaging is a worldwide messaging system, and it is not.
I believe receive only I-gates break APRS messaging because if it
works the way I think it does, you received the message via
internet the return path is invalid because that one hop (I-gate)
is receive only. So your reply will never get to the recipient.
(that also might explain some of the repeated messages we see
still bouncing around hours after sending)
Also I think anyone in "hearing range" of that I-gate may never
receive message sent to them because their path could also include
that receive only I-gate.
