Digi status - 30 July 2014 - Still in development

[Luke Jenkins]

The digi/igate has been working fairly well (coverage issues from the antenna being indoors in my office aside) for the last month or so. There is still a lingering issue where APRX just stop receiving any packets from the TNC, requiring a restart of the service. I'd like to get this issue sorted before moving the box up the hill to the shack.

Once I move it up and put it into production, I'd like to change the callsign to be WEBER, WEBERST, or WSU; chime in if you have an opinion on which we should use. I was thinking of doing this before, but this post by Bob Bruninga (father of APRS) cemented the decision: http://www.tapr.org/pipermail/aprssig/2014-July/043580.html.

N7ADV requested that we make the APRS-IS to RF transmitting of packets/POIs available to club members. I like the idea, and as long as we don't have abuse I'd like to keep it open to anyone; but it seems that currently APRX has issues with non-message packets going out RF from -IS. If we can figure out a workaround (e.g. ax25 networking and two clients on the box), I'll send out word to the club.

I vote for WEBERU or WEBERST. The problem with WSU is that we are not the only WSU. (Washington State University, Wayne State University, and Wichita State University come to mind for example.)
