Following the Packet radio series, today we'll be turning our direwolf tnc install into an APRS I-gate and digipeater. The I-Gate will allow us to send APRS packets from RF to the APRS-IS and vise versa and beacon out to websites like aprs.fi.
See the following video to set up Direwolf:

Enjoying your series, although I learned the hard way and read all the manuals two months ago 😂

Easy to follow instructions with a nice blog post on your site for additional information. What more can you ask for! I have a few I-Gates in my area already. I need to do some research on the APRS network and see if it would be of benefit (or harmful) to add an additional I-Gate. Thanks!

APRS.fi has a neat feature where you can see the coverage area of specific stations in your area. I can't remember exactly how to get there but it will map it visually after they've been active for a while.

Any idea how to address which cm108 device you want to ptt from on windows. When multiple are attached it just chooses one and sadly it’s not the correct one

Sadly, this is a problem that needs solves across the board in linux too. Besides adjusting the ADEVICE numbers for the sound card, or looking at the device manager for a PTT COM port, it's kind of a tossup every reboot. You should be able to select the soundcard with ADEVICE NUM1 NUM2.

The audio is out of sync with the video.

Thanks, I'll take a closer look next time to fix it before it goes up. I've got one I recorded at the same time coming out today so it may be the same way.
