APRS wrong location

Post by PU5JNP » Sun Nov 17, 2024 6:16 am

I'm trying to use the APRS function, but all location values that I set in channel appears wrong in aprs.fi.

In direwolf log, I see this:

Code: Select all

PU5JNP-7 audio level = 28(8/8)   [SINGLE]   ::::::___
[0.2] PU5JNP-7>APOG77,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1:!2723.100S/04823.100W[DM-1801
Error: '0' found for latitude hemisphere.  Specification requires upper case N or S.
Invalid character in longitude.  Found '/' when expecting 0 or 1 for hundreds of degrees.
Position, Staging Area  (S0)
W[DM-1801
In aprs.fi my location appears like:

Code: Select all

Position: 27°24.00' S 48°24.00' W
Its a firmware bug?

BTW, you didn't mentionned the firmware & CPS version you're using.

Your Lat and Lon values are quite wierd, as you can only have two digits decimals (I double checked the latest code, and it's fine).

I settled these values:

Lat: 27.3506S
Lon: 48.3511W

CPS: OpenGD77 CPS R2024.10.31.01 - Windows 10
Radio: Baofeng DM-1801
Firmware version: Build 20241018200306 [ 7bf8c45 D]

You talked about APRS location. So, did you set a location in the given APRS config (check that in the CPS).
Also, you don't use these coordinates (I checked on APRS.fi).

I guess you've made a typo about the HT model, right ?

Please, post your codeplug, and tell us which APRS channel you're using (its name).

Cheers.

And now, direwolf says:
