Three weeks of running a receive only APRS igate has shown that there are actually packets floating about, so I’ve swapped out direwolf and an RTL_SDR for aprx and my kenwood D710, to have a play with two-way igating and digipeating.
Assuming that works, I’ll switch out the kenwood for the motorola GM340 I picked up on ebay back in (checks ye olde emails) 2018. Once that's done, I’ll see about getting a callsign for the igate and putting up a proper antenna for it.
