I've seen your packets digipeated via ISS many times. Your website was very helpful when I was trying to find out how to set up an Igate for ISS.

New ISS Igate

G4HYG – October 30, 2007 – 22:08

I only found out about APRS via the ISS recently after seeing several "odd" stations appear on my APRS map. I already run an APRS Igate on 144.8 MHz so I've used some old kit to set up a permanent receive only Igate on 145.825 MHz. It's worth doing to help out other radio amateurs outside the coverage of the earthbound APRS network or broadband internet.

Hello Chris,

Excellent to be an ISS igate station!
Every APRS station (on the ground) who have also an internet
connection should do the same!!!
Only a few minutes work to configure UIVIEW and its
ready!
Look here for my easy IGATE guide:

Currently (31-Oct-2007) ISS aprs digipeater is
not active.
Probably it will come back soon (lets hope).

I agree with you that everyone who can should set up an Igate. It's easy!

Here are some details of my Igates:

You don't need lots of expensive kit. I set both my Igates up with some very old equipment that some would consider to be obsolete.
