Hardware:

Lilygo T-Beam V 1.1 (433 MHz)

Software:

iGate V. 4.0.0. 16. August 2026

Description:
The iGate recceives raw aprs packets.

The display on the Lilygo T-Beam shows:

But on this iGate there is no forwarding to the APRS.fi server.

I have an older iGate with different iGate software in use.
On this older iGate software the forwarding of the same raw APRS packets to APRS.fi is working, fine.

I tried several settings, using the iGate webinterface, but no forwarding of the received aprs packets to the aprs.fi server achieved.

Used callsigns:

iGate: DM5TU-10 - Passcode OK - iGate on aprs.fi is visbible
Tracker: DN6TU-09 - Packets received by FW CA2RXU iGate, but not forwarded to aprs.fi server.

Please give me some ideas what to change in settings.

Thanks

hi
DN6TU-09 will never work, use DN6TU-9 (without the "0")

what "old" iGate ?

using in SSID a 0X (like 09 should not be used and maybe this is why it is not working for you)

Old iGate means:

Lillygo V32 V 1.1 wit FW by OE5BPA - https://github.com/lora-aprs/LoRa_APRS_iGate - Year 2022 - latest available update.

But maybe you are right and the "old" fw is working against some convenetions.

Let us think

yes, I had to add many rules for it to work fine with all the other ways that APRS works. so this was a needed update.

Please change the tracker said and it should be fine .

I will keep this setup as along as your tell me what to change.

tnx fer your answer
