Hi Ricardo,

since V3.1 it is possible to configure a personal status text. This is sent out at every boot of the iGate. Probably you can add a feature to send the status text out in fixed intervals (e.g. once every hour or once every day). It could look like this:

returning to this, what is the goal to send frequently status packets?

If the status text is not sent out via APRS-IS and/or RF at least every 24-48 hours (not sure how long exactly ... one, two or three days) it disappears in the APRS.fi display on the map:

I noticed on my iGate (running 24/7) that the status text is only sent out when it is powered on but not anymore after that. That is why I asked for that feature ...

To prevent that the status text is sent out too often an alternative could maybe be to program a fixed intervall for the status text:

- SEND STATUS AT EACH BOOT (and then once every 24 hours)

Thanks

Is there a reason that you did not use the beacon text? That will transmit every 10-15 minutes, it will keep aprs.fi happy.
My beacon text is something like "LoRa APRS Digi 433.775MHz BW125 SF7 CR4:6 de N7UV" and I transmit it every 10 minutes. Does a similar thing not work for you?
