I have an Icom IC-2200h and a garmin vista gps.  I am able to see my location in the IC2200h and am showing up on the dstarusers list.  I am not showing up on aprs.fi.  Does anyone have any ideas why I'm not?

Have you configured your radio with the path specified at http://www.aprs-is.net/dprs.aspx (mandatory)?  Be sure the local repeater is in RPT1, the local gateway in RPT2, and CQCQCQ is in URCALL.

Hope this helps.

Pete,

Can you clarify for everyone why the G setting needs to be in RPT2?  I remember you saying that it needed to be in order to send the traffic to the APRS monitor software that has been added to the gateway, but I don't remember exactly the reasoning.  I know without a setting in RPT2, the traffic doesn't go to the gateway computer on it's own.

You basically answered your question: without the gateway in RPT2, the gateway never sees the bit stream that the repeater sees.  Having the gateway in RPT2 tells the repeater controller "send this bit stream to the gateway in addition to repeating the signal on RF".

This is also necessary if, for instance, you want to talk to someone who is using a DVDongle.  They will only hear people on the repeaters if those people have the gateway in RPT2.

Gateway in RPT2: gateway sees the transmission
RPT2 empty or misconfigured: gateway only sees that you transmitted, not what was transmitted.

Hope this helps.
