APRS DISABLE?

Post by g7kbr »

Hi All

I am trying to disable APRS on my repeater, it’s runnning 4.1.5 and the APRS data received via 5055 is causing issues. It’s on the Phoenix network. See log below:

Also APRS is disabled in APRS HOST disabled.

Any help would be much appreciated. This causes TG local and network traffic to not get transmitted. After a reboot it works for a period of time.

Regards

On your Brandmeister control board for that repeater put NOAPRS in the Priority Message box at the top of the page.

It looks like the OM is using Phoenix not Brandmeister.
It also looks like the APRS is coming in via RF not the network.

Hi yes this is Phoenix and yes APRS is a local user. We wanted to turn APRS off and check if it was the which was causing the repeater to not TX and RX TS 1 and TS 2 traffic. Rebooting the repeater normally fixes the issue.

Or it could be that if you use both slots at the same time it locks the box up. I have never seen this before and would know where to start on fault finding this.

I don't think that is the case. When both timeslots are in use it is just one continuous signal instead of it being broken up into 30 ms on and off chunks. The software shouldn't have any issue with processing both timeslots at the same time, because essentially what its doing during one timeslot is only half of the work it would be doing if both timeslots were active.
As a test we disable slot 1, as the APRS data was coming through on Slot 1. But the APRS was still on slot 1, is this normal?
