The list is always quiet - So I figure a discussion would do the mail server some good! <div><br></div><div>What's the reasoning behind planning to make it receive only? You lose some features of an I-Gate that make them such a good asset. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In the past, the I-Gate that was on the old ETV tower was setup to always output the calls of 'old hams' from the area. Anyone that used to be a part of the club would get their packet pulled off the net and broadcast in RF there in town. You could always see where I was as long as I was within range of another I-Gate. (I don't run APRS much anymore, so it's not a big deal for me) </div>

<div>It is receive only, and is expected to stay that way, so I'm not sure you will see it in the 'stations heard' listing on any of the sites.</div>

<div>I'm guessing that you would see it in the 'stations who have relayed this packet' listings, since I think iGates are included in that.</div>

</div>
<div>Right now, it is operating on an older Alinco transceiver, but this will most likely be changed to a dedicated crystal-controlled receiver in the future. </div>

<div>I know under the options in the iGate software, activating the RF transmitter was not enabled since it did not need to be for this use.</div>
