#HamRadio
First real test of new coverage since the increased antenna height for RX on my LoRa APRS from the car back to the gateway, it’s massively improved the LoRa footprint.. it almost gets me all the way to work!
Further coverage testing to be carried out but initially it looks like a big win for coverage ad previously it would only get about half way before dropping off and the other one just about covering (limited cover on the second)
Finally gotten round to moving the x30 dual band (144/430mhz) and the adsb (1090mhz) antennas from inside the loft to outside
Been saying I’ll take down the pair of MikroTik SXT LTE units for ages as their no longer in use for a while
Should now have better coverage for my LoRa APRS igate (MB7UKT) and great coverage for my packet BBS 2m node (GB7PKT)

It'd be great if the #LoRaAPRS would not modify packets to add an RSSI field in the comment text.
APRS packet data must be retransmitted unmodified, because modified packets will be duplicates. https://github.com/hessu/aprsc/blob/main/doc/IGATE-HINTS.md

Setup in the front window with a battery pack, and the T-Beam displaying that I have a message. (That I sent myself)
New #antenna arrived for the #LoRaAPRS setup. While better then the results before, This still doesn't work well.
I placed the receiver in the front window, but still had the transmit side in side the car - this is probably the problem. #LoRa is very low powered after all.
My car may also be noisy in the 433mhz band.
But I made some progress with the setup, now just to make better progress LOL.
On a plus note, the device displays messages nicely, so once working better - that will be nice
Going to have to do a lot more testing, so this seems to work sitting on the desk, but doesn't work when I'm out.
But I had problems with LoRa 433 around here before. So today I tried a couple of different antenna, still not working.
SO I think all I can do is get an external antenna for both of these devices and see what happens.
Maybe I need an amplifier?
Très bonne couverture #LoRa sur la région de Lyon. Avec une trame reçu à près de 110km

#LoRaAPRS first weatherproof enclosure completed!! Very little modification required. Those M2 nylon standoffs work great.
Following on from the previous post, I’ve put together a how-to get started with #LoRa #APRS guide

Basic setup to get started and programming the boards
Thanks to Ricardo #CA2RXU for ongoing code dev on tracker & igate and team on web dev

On this note, I've set up one of my #Meshtastic nodes again to mess with. I forgot that if you hook it to the network, you can access it via IP.
If I hadn't toasted the charging circuit on the other T-Beam, I could use that one, too.
I have some notes around on #LoraAPRS using these boards. I was trying to work out comms for an event without needing to use #hamRadio directly.
Anyone have any recommendations for what kind of antenna I should get with a T-Deck for #LoRa?
915, 868, or 433MHz?
Jetzt bastle ich schon über 2 Jahre an dieser #LoRaAPRS-Firmware für die T-Echos von Lilygo. Heute hab ich mich dann doch mal entschieden, Version 1.0 zu taggen 😃 .

Samstags kurz vor dem Mittagessen: noch eben die Tracker und iGate Software von CA2RXU ausprobieren. Macht einen sehr guten Eindruck und bietet viele Einstellmöglichkeiten: https://github.com/richonguzman #loraaprs #igate #tracker #hamradio #lorawx
Bon flashage et tes de mon #tracker #loraaprs av c le dode de @richonguzman tous semble fonctionner... #radioamateur #hamradio #lora
Anyone near Paris, France to make some tests with #LORAAPRS ?

Un firmware pour les cartes TTGO Tbeam etc.. qui supporte le mode AX25/KISS avec un bon paquet de paramètres possibles #LORAAPRS
