...igate this enigmatic ocean.
I tried it on Linux with Direwolf and briefly had an iGate setup but I really wanted it to do short form text as was one of its original intentions. Most radios cornered it into GPS beacon work only unfortunately but I heard things have changed the past year.

RF to igate to an AI and back to the radio is a wild loop. Asking a chatbot a question with no phone signal and no Wi-Fi feels like the past and the future at the same time.

This morning's SkyRoof 1.51 setup and satellite lineup. @VE3NEA has produced an amazing product. Here I also have Direwolf active to decode and iGate any APRS packets which might be captured from SONATE-2. Mostly I am monitoring for SSTV/SSDV from a number of satellites.

Managed to iGate one packet from SONATE-2, callsign DP0SNX, as the satellite passed over Metro Vancouver moments ago. I'm running an iGate for standard APRS but here the station was monitoring various cubesats in SkyRoof. I had Direwolf running as well to handle the iGate action.

It was on sale on Amazon. I got it about 3 years ago and it’s been running my igate and until recently the packet Winlink.

Still managing to iGate packets from the ISS APRS digipeater, nowadays operating on UHF. Here we see the last 8 or so iGates my station, VE7AFV-9, has managed.
Two sites which show the ISS APRS activity:

Interesting capability. Handy for off-grid individuals. The “no internet” feature is a bit imprecise. It assumes there’s an igate the user can reach, which *does* require internet. So if there’s an area-wide internet outage, no joy.

Yes, exactly! iGate-featured-final-station is the key, but you might now that there are a lot of w/o internet digipeaters on the hills, and APRS has a feature called hops. Sometimes you can reach hundreds of km's away via APRS by multi-hops.

Somewhat more amazing to me, every month, is the wide area from which my iGate had sent a position packet to aprs.fi on behalf of a station "out there". Several are so far away that at least 1 (& likely a few) digipeater would've been needed to get that packet to here.

I had a pistar working for a while.
When Brandmeister changed something several years ago, it required more elbow-deep-in-the-wires work than I was willing to take on to get it working again. Moved the pi to other work (APRS iGate). Got the OpenSpot 4, and I agree, it's incredible. SO much better.
