Hello Ricardo.
Firstly many thanks for your brilliant software. I don't know how you do it!!!

I have a couple of issues. The first one is that removing the beacon path in igate_config.json stops beacons being sent to APRS-IS, resulting in no icon being displayed on aprs-fi. This is the line:

"path": "",

A configuration with no path should be allowed so beacons are not digipeated.

Hello. Thanks for your issue. I will check that because you are right, empty path is allowed and correct according to the protocol. 73! Damian SQ2CPA
