I thought that maybe the TNC wasn't hearing any audio because of the tone squelch.</div><div><br></div><div>As for getting into a gateway, I see from <a href="http://aprs.fi/?call=vk2poo-*&mt=roadmap&z=9&timerange=3600">aprs.fi</a> that your POO-1 digi is getting in ok, so maybe it's a hardware issue. Listen to the audio on another rig to see if there's any obvious distortion. A complete lack of audio would do it too! :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Your settings look broadly ok to me, but as an experiment you might try changing the "gpslj" to "aprs", just in case some digi on the way is balking at the "GPSxxx" bit. I wouldn't expect this to be the case, but it's worth a try.</div><div><br></div><div>73 Richard VK2SKY</div></body></html>
