[OZAPRS] Sgate ui pathe

[Ray]

Norm,

Is this for a station transmitting to the birds? My gut feeling is that 
with the proliferation of satgate station directly forwarding to the 
aprs-is there's no need for anything except ARISS. My satgate directly 
feeds the aprs-is so "terrestrial" paths are meaningless. I think the 
SGATE part is redundant today because most (all?) satgates directly feed 
the aprs-is. If I had to digi via another station to get to the aprs-is 
I imagine that a terrestrial path such as WIDE2-1 (amended as 
appropriate for local circumstances) would still be required. It's 
possible (probable?) that the use of paths like GATE and SGATE are a 
throwback to earlier days of packet/aprs that preceded the spread of 
economical and widely available internet connections when terrestrial 
VHF/UHF links were used to get to a gateway station.

Maybe the SIAS approach is the way to go. Try the path you've provided 
and gradually eliminate bits to arrive at the minimum requirement for 
you; probably just ARISS.
