I was receiving APRS traffic and transmitting my position as a beacon. However, I was unable to receive back my packet &#8211; so I&#8217;m concluding that my signal was not making it to the local digipeater (N4EVA-11).  As the D7A is a dual-bander, I left the top band on the APRS freq and the bottom band I set to scan regular local voice repeaters and the placed the D7A in the handlebar bag.  On my ride home I could here APRS traffic and a few calls on the regular repeaters, but I could tell reception was poor.  I&#8217;m assuming having the D7A in the bag greatly diminishes my over all signal strength.<\/p>\n<p>What I have yet to verify is that data being passed from the GPS to the D7A is being xmitted.  My earlier test where I successfully passed a packet to the digipeater was from a lat\/long location directly programmed into the D7A, not from the GPS.<\/p>\n<p>Right now for a UNPROTO I&#8217;m using WIDE3-3.  I&#8217;m going to change it to RELAY,WIDE and see if that makes it to the digipeater.  In the past (with the TinyTrak) I&#8217;ve tried using an UNPROTO of N4EVA-11 and then to the Igate.  But that&#8217;s never worked.  I think N4EVA-11 only digipeats RELAY.  I&#8217;m going to do a little fiddleing around with it this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday after work I took the bike over to a location with good line of sight, powered up the GPS, connected it to the D7A, and then powered up the D7A.
