Re: PICO balloon APRS Olivia MEL-NSW-QLD
Hi Andy, I just decoded it as
VK3YT-11>APZ269,WIDE2-1:!/_^[(sPOCO etc etc
and my mountaintop fill-in 1-1 digi wont repeat it to our local igate which is vk2asy
what do i have to change in the configuration of the vk2jds-1 digi to make it repeat the balloon transmission?
its good to see i am decoding them

The balloon uses compressed APRS format, so maybe that is what you need to enable?
The path is WIDE2-1.

Re: PICO balloon APRS Olivia MEL-NSW-QLD
Ok, thanks, but jds-1 is set as a 1-1 digi. how do i get it to digipeat the balloon ?
also no packets have gone into the local gate via me or the vk2rao digi, or even directly into the gate itself, although its signal is there and decodes at my place ...
its been suggested i set the alias on the tinytrak4 to wide1 and wide2 on vk2jds-1 that might fix it ?

Re: PICO balloon APRS Olivia MEL-NSW-QLD
I must be losing my touch with APRS.
Looking at the raw packets I'm trying to work out what's going on here.
There's a clear half hour delay with packets coming via VK2RBX-1 and VK3WRM-1
It appears that VK2RBX-1 is functioning correctly, so I suspect there is something wrong with VK3WRM's settings.
Is anybody able to give him a heads up?

Dave
I assume the digipeater is setup as a fill-in and only responses to WIDE1-1 path?
Not sure how you can change this behaviour without reconfiguring the digipeater.

Re: PICO balloon APRS Olivia MEL-NSW-QLD
No worries Andy, its now configured as alias1 wide1 , and alias2 wide2
i have been up and down off the mountain several times today with laptop , radios and cabling to fix it.
so far no problems on the local network, i have consulted with the gate operator Kim vk2asy, so its all set and should digipeat your next fly by
btw, the DR135 alinco got replaced by a ic22s and it decoded your balloon well. the alinco was finicky about only decoding packets with exactly the right deviation, whereas the 22s decodes everything

Hi all...
I see the Balloon has made it to NZ and flying past doing about 201km/h
Next stop South America...
