Hello all, 

I was wondering what the errors [Unsupported packet format] and [Invalid message packet] mean? I'm trying to send APRS Packets, but aprs.fi seems to give this error next to any log with my packet transmissions. 


Any information is appreciated!

Hi,

It means the packets are not APRS packets. They're not encoded using the
APRS protocol. The format is specified here:
