Error with aprsis beaconing

[Erik, PA0ESH]

Good day everyone,

I use the  config as shown below: Cause i'm going on a holiday, i do not want to actively transmit beacon data. That s handled anyhow by our regional digipeater.

But if i start aprx it gives me the following error 

/etc/aprx.conf:26 ERROR: beaconmode APRSIS is incompatible with beaconing to designated interface ('interface $mycall')

If i change to { both} all is well.

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong ?

Your beacon line is explicitly saying it should go out interface $mycall. If you want it to be able to only go out on APRSIS, just remove the interface statement from the beacon line:

beacon via WIDE2-1 symbol "I&" $myloc comment "PHG31004/iGate / www.pa0esh.nl. via T2HENGELO"

I believe since you only have the one interface, specifying which interface to beacon on is unneeded.

I'll point out that I question how you being on vacation should change the beaconing behavior of your local APRS infrastructure, but I won't presume to know your motivations on this change.
