When my tracker is sending a tactical callsign it is being seen by the iGate, but it is not sending the data to the APRS network.

One of the best uses for APRS is being able to use Tactical Callsigns. You only have 16 SSIDs.

On my Handheld radio on VHF I can use the same tactical callsign and it works just fine.

Is there a reason to not allow Tactical Callsigns?

Hi,
i not supporting this mod as this is ment to be only worked over RF. Callsigns and names are only allowed for certain stations /repeaters "only" and any other station should be with the callsing of the OP.
