I can see that my IC-E80D is receving GPS data from my external GPS unit. However, I can not see that it gets to the gateway so that I can see it on APRS.if. believe I have coded my IC80 correct but I can't see or enter anything in the RPT2 field.
I have used the DPRS calculator, and entered the C1 sentence "MV THOMAS-DSTAR*3C" as calculated.
I have heard that there are some features with the 'DR' mode, so also tried using GRP UR entering '/DR CQ' as UR callsign without success in getting my position data over to the gateway.
DR mode may prevent you from inputting RPT2. Try inputting RPT2 with DR mode disabled. As stated on the
www.aprs-is/dprs.aspx page, you should set UR to CQCQCQ, RPT1 to your local repeater, and RPT2 to your local gateway. RPT1 and RPT2 are -requirements-. If RPT2 is not set to the local gateway, the gateway will never see the bit stream to decode it.
Hope this helps.
