Checking my setting with AGW Tracker

[Ethanflux]

Can somebody help check my settings for AGW Tracker? I need to verify it is correct before I setup AGW Packet Engine Pro. Well it seems that the directions for AGW Tracker is not clear and the forum they have is rather simplistic. I live in a rural area with the nearest digipeater about 40 miles away. If somebody can verify I have the correct settings, I can move on with setting this up as a digi of my own. I live in the US.

Software:
AGW Tracker v.2011.817
AGW Packet Engine Pro v.1123.2011
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Hardware:
Kenwood TM-D710A

looks ok,.... except, that you have 3 different beacon time interval settings

I wonder about the beacon times too, but it should work. Depending on how/why you're using the '700 and '710, you might want to add a second port for one of them.
Good luck with that 'AGW Tracker', I didn't have much luck with it and dropped it.

Ok, thank you for the responses. First off. Which beacons should I drop? And what suggested intervals? Should I beacon TCP/IP and RF?

 

[hookedon6]

tcp/ip... beacon as often as you want

RF.... no more than once per hour

YMMV

 

[Ethanflux]

Ok, Great. I changed my beaconing settings. The one problem I have is getting a received RF beacon to get onto the internet. Anybody have experience with this? My station receives the beacon on the packet engine pro and it shows up on AGW Tracker, but it never makes it to the internet sites.

Unless you're running an 'Igate' (or you are hitting one that's close), nothing is going to go from 'RF' to the internet. If you want both 'RF' and the internet stations displayed on your computer, I would suggest another program that that 'AGWTracker'. 'APRSIS-32' does all that and is much easier to set up. It's not 'perfect' by any means, but it does work well.
