Hi i have a problem fighting some time and no success.
I have Heltec V3.2 no GPS iGate DIGI firmware V3.2.4.
I set everything also my position fixed and i can not see that change in APRS-FI
I can see on screen that APRS-FI connection is OK.

Server set to europa.aprs2.net port 14580 (when i change port to non filtered i can see many packets coming in from server)
filter m/20
Enables connection and becon and i see that stations near me getting my packets but APRS-FI does not get anything, status,
becon, position nor telemetry is shown in APRS-FI
But i have set Syslog to lora.link9.net and that i can see correct position/becon message and telemetry i sending recived packets to it..

Does anyone have idea/similar problem?

Tried reconfigure everything, whipe hole firmware and flash it again no success.
V3.2.4

could you please set the server to euro.aprs2.net and check if you have "send beacon to aprs-is" enabled?

could you please set the server to **euro**.aprs2.net and check if you have "send beacon to aprs-is" enabled? <!-- github-comment-id:5045461384 -->

lets test the basics:

does it send its own position as a beacon to aprs-is ? (disable it completely the RF / LoRa Tx of the beacon , just to test Wifi

On the heltec screen it says WiFi OK APRS-IS OK
tried reboot few times and the same

minor test: avoid the long comment (avoid the "/" for now), or test "LoRaiGate" and nothing more. All else looks as expected

I see you are connected to aprs-is, but it is written that 7 packets have been received, 2 erronous packets with invalid callsigns in path. Can you please check at your callsign if there are any spaces before or after and that it is only SP9JZ-2 ?

For testing purposes only, can you choose as server poland.aprs2.net

yes, I can confirm, I see the same. But no position packet.
This can either be

  • send beacon via APRS-IS is not enabled - please check if enabled
  • coords are in a wrong format - please check and make only 2 digits after the .

if this does not help, please reset the device and only change

  • callsign
  • server
  • passcode
  • enable aprs_is
  • enable send beacon via aprs-is

everything else should stay untouched.
